Plus size Sweatshirts that aren’t cropped/too short!

[Hardchoices]

Hello wise ones

I’m needing to update my wardrobe and next on my list is sweatshirts. I’m an Apple shaped size 20 so all my weight is on my belly. Lovely.

I am sick of ordering and having to return sweatshirts because they are simply too short. Even ones that aren’t cropped seem to be shorter in the body than normal. I’m 5’6 so i’m not hugely tall. I’ve actually been wearing maternity sweatshirts as they are always longer but I’m struggling to find ones without the tell-tale rouched sides.

So any ideas please or recommendations. Thank you.

I recently got one in the Cos sale, it is huge and long. I also find H and M good, so worth a look. I often go for sweat shirt dress option as they are longer. I am taller than you though so do need a longer length!

This one looks longer www.mandmdirect.com/01/details/FQ2868/Board-Angels-Womens-Striped-Hoodie-Navy-white

I have this, it's a long sleeved t shirt but warmer and it reaches my thighs, I always get positive comments when I wear it. www.amazon.co.uk/Spiral-Direct-Womens-Blood-Rose/dp/B00A7MZHJK?psc=1&th=1&ref_=ast_sto_dp&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Make sure they're described as oversized.

I have several Stanton sweatshirts which are long and skim over the tummy from Kit and Kaboodal.

These have a star print but they also do plain Stanton tops which will probably go on sale in autumn.

Thanks for the suggestions will check them out

Buy men’s ones?

I also do the sweatshirt dress thing. I can't stand anything that sits at my waistband!

I'm not plus size nor particularly tall (5'7") but buy men's sweatshirts from places like Zara, H & M and a French brand called Faguo (I live in France). I wear them to the gym and find them cheaper and warmer, and also appreciate the extra length. Perhaps give one a try? H&M certainly has a range of sizes (chest size, l mean, rather than length). Or for more casual perhaps Nike or another sports brand?
