Oodies for short people

[Devilledmeg]

Like everyone else I want to get a hooded blanket for the Winter. I don't mind paying more for the premium ones as imagine I'm going to be saving money on heating, HOWEVER!

I'm only 5ft2 so am I going to be swamped by an Oodie with pockets sagging to my knees? If you're short what hooded blanket do you recommend?

Will the kids ones fit? Not oodie specifically but I find that as someone who is 5ft, the childrens clothing generally fits fine.

I don't know! Has anyone a similar height to me tried this?

I got mine in Next last year, same size as you. I'd imagine they will have similar this year. Not official oodie though 😉

I’m 5ft 31/2 and find the fit lovely but I like the fact there is more of me covered by my oodie

I have one and it's huge but it's meant to be. I'm 5ft3. I feel ridiculous if I look in the mirror 😂but I never intend to leave the house in it and it's very cosy.

I'm 5ft 5 and my DS's one is mid thigh length. It should still be just above your knees, it's meant to be oversized. It's also twice as wide as I need it to be! I think either an adult one or one that would fit a 13 year old would work.

I'm 5ft3. My oodie swamps me but that's kind of the point! You can still do stuff in it as the cuffs are elasticated which is helpful.

I'm 5,2 and have an oodie. I love it. Would recommend one to anyone.

I'm slightly envious reading this thread, I'm over 6" and mine just looks like a long top 😂 my sister is closer to your height, she's got a kids one and it fits better! The adult was really long on her 😊

I’m 5’2 and have one from Dunelm and one from Primark.

Can you still do things like washing up or cooking in them if you're short or are the sleeves too baggy?

I’d say too baggy

My mum is 5foot but has mobility issues so walks with a walker, this is my worry at getting her one
I know she would love the cosyness but I'm worried about her tripping

I'm 5ft2 with an oodie it's great for tucking your legs into it on the sofa. For cooking, beyond tea and toast or similar I wouldn't do it in an oodie regardless of height.

@yonce Onlinehomeshop do an extra long one!!

I ordered a normal one from there (think its Sienna brand or Dreamscape?) and it's due to arrive soon so I will update - I'm 5ft I've had one before from Primark and it only came to my knees, maybe it's because I'm so wide

I have an oodie and I'm 5'2". It's fine. Keeps more of my legs warm 😊

I am excited to get an update - I'd love one that covered my decency 😂
