Am I too fat for an Oodie?

I’m a size 22. I want an Oodie (or at least an M&S equivalent) for Christmas.

Does anyone my size have one? Does the one size fits all fit you?

Thanks.

I don’t have one but I like the extra large men ones at Primark, very soft and large. I bought DH a zipped one.

IAmAnIdiot123 · 25/11/2023 12:34

I used to be a size 26 and tried on a large at primark, fit fine and baggy.

TinyTyrantsSnackb1tch · 25/11/2023 12:35

I bought my daughters partner one from Primark (men's large/xl one) she's a size 24 and it aas still nice and comfy on her (they both fit in it, my daughter is about a 14-16, we tested the theory of now many can you fit in my putting our 20 month old in too 🤣). The primark ones are fantastic and a massive selection to choose from, have you got a primark nearby?

I'm an 18. Love mine.

My DD I think is about your size and she also loves hers.

They are for comfort - no-one looks smart or fashionable in one!

I was an 18 and my oodie was lovely and baggy. I’ve lost a lot of weight since and I’m hoping it will still work its magic!

VoiceOfCommonSense · 25/11/2023 13:15

You could always sew 2 together?

ForeverYellow · 25/11/2023 13:16

Believe me , it will still be baggy on you .

cardibach · 25/11/2023 13:19

I was a 22 when I bought mine. Perfect. As is the fake one I got from eBay. My daughter is a 10. Also perfect on her. I tell you, they are magic.
the real ones are warmer than the fakes, 8n my experience. The sale at the mo is fantastic for real ones.

No it’ll still be baggy - and lovely and cosy , I wish mine was a bit longer as I’m 5’10 but very loose

You can get long ones from other shops. My one from Debenhams is ankle length on me.

I'm a 20/22. I've got a primark one. I think it's a m/L because that's the biggest they had. It's huge.

Feliciacat · 25/11/2023 13:31

I only have an official Oodie so I am not sure how the equivalents compare in size. I’m a 16-18 and I could probably fit two thirds of another person inside the Oodie with me. I think what helps is that they are unisex, so they run very large if you’re a woman. I think you will be fine; you’ll love it!

MassageForLife · 25/11/2023 13:31

I was a size 20 when I bought mine and it has loads of room. You'll be fine. (Genuine oodie)

Oblomov23 · 25/11/2023 13:37

Practically No one is too fat for an oodie surely?

Natty83 · 25/11/2023 13:40

I'm an 18 and 39 weeks pregnant. Still loads of room in mine.

usethedata · 25/11/2023 13:50

Size 22 here. Genuine Oodie and my 4 year old climbs in it with me

Lannielou · 25/11/2023 13:52

I'm a size 20/22 my oldie fits a treat and is sooo warm

mommatoone · 25/11/2023 13:57

Absolutely not. Buy one OP. They are an absolute game changer 👌

MyDogSmellsTerrible · 25/11/2023 14:25

Nope. It will be baggy on you! They're amazing. I love mine ❤️

Christmasapple · 25/11/2023 14:47

My sister is a 24 ish. The Oodie & Kuddli fit. The Sienna brand which is a cheap one is a bit too snug.

skyeisthelimit · 25/11/2023 15:01

I am larger than you and I bought a purple Friends Oodie and it fits me fine and is still baggy.

Chanhedforthis · 25/11/2023 15:05

Ignore this comment op.

Im a size 22, 27 weeks pregnant and mine fits fine.

LongTallSuzie · 25/11/2023 15:07

I'm 5ft 10 and a size 24. I've got a genuine oodie that fits lovely on me. Lots of room and long enough to cover my bum and tops of legs.

StaunchMomma · 25/11/2023 15:08

Honestly, they're feckin' MASSIVE!!
