BUY IT
I purchased the green one first and said I have to have the black one. I love the loose baggy arms and the big hood. Im not the biggest fan of cropped items but I do like how this one sits. I wear a 2 in Torrid but I purchased a 3 and i enjoy how it fits

Super cute!
I saw that the sleeves run short but it gives a cute look! It is also somewhat cropped (or I may just have a long torso) but it looks adorable! Accentuates the bootay and hides my big belly. I have emotionally bonded with this jacket.

Love it!
Just ordered this online and received today! So freakin cute and comfy! I’m 5’10 and wear a size 3 in torrid tops. Ordered a 3 in this, in black. The band is sewn so it tucks under and sits more at your waist. It has an oversized look to it but in an intentional way imo.The sleeves are a little shorter on me than I like (I have long arms), but that’s ok. The hoodie is really oversized. It just gives this current stylish vibe and I can’t wait to wear it!

Comfy, Cozy, and Short
I bought this recently and have worn it almost every day since! The "bubble" effect can make this hoodie seem cropped and can make the sleeves too short, especially when you're arms are raised. It's warm enough for cooler weather but not too heavy for spring!

Comfy& flattering
Love this jacket. I would of given it 5 stars if the sleeves were a bit longer. Super soft & flattering. It is over sized but hits at the waist. I purchased my regular size of 4 I did not size up and plenty of room.

Nice but too short
I like the hoodie but too short. I bought two sizes and both fit fine one more oversized then the other and both sit at same point right at the waist. So when I lift my arms the hem comes up to my chest. And I am not that tall only 5' 8". I prefer my hoodies a little longer so they come down over my hips a bit.

Love Festi Clothing but…
Super cute sweater!! But read my major gripe below…
I’ve noticed that when I order from Torrid, the pieces I actually keep are usually from Festi. The fit and look are good, but there’s one major, consistent flaw: sleeve length.
A large portion of Torrid’s customer base is tall (5’10” and over), and most mainstream stores fit us awkwardly. Torrid is one of the few brands that fits shoulders and bust without making us look larger—but the sleeves are consistently and inexplicably short. Festi is particularly bad. I have to roll up the sleeves on every single top. It genuinely feels like these garments were patterned on someone around 5 feet tall. Wash or dry them incorrectly, and the sleeves shrink even more—so keep an eye on your husband doing laundry.
This is an easy fix: sleeves should be longer. Shorter customers can hem; tall women can’t magically add fabric. Until this is addressed, Festi will continue to miss the mark for a huge segment of Torrid’s customers.
The photo shows the sleeves unrolled, the normal length. I roll them up to my elbows just to make it look less awkward. And I’m only 5’10”! I can’t imagine the 6’ 0” and up ladies dealing with this issue.
PS Torrid design team, if you’re listening: tall plus-size women exist, and we’re a huge, underserved market. Make it official… “Torrid: Plus-Size & Tall”…and finally fix a problem the fashion world refuses to notice.

Why are sleeves like this
Every single time I think that there's hope for getting a hoodie from torrid that will fit my arms which are not even that long for somebody who is 5'11, the arms are never long enough compared to the other proportions of the item. It'll fit everywhere just fine, but the arms are always so awkward and short. I've never met anybody who wants a hoodie whose sleeves don't go down to their wrist or further. This one I purchased after taking a break from trying to get a hoodie from Torrid, because I was listening to the proportions and the arm length measurements. Which aren't correct on my body. I bought a 3x for the slightly oversized fit, And it was really nice. But I couldn't stand the fact that on my arms it was just a little past my elbow in length compared to the torso being exactly where hips are. It's so awkward and disappointing! Why is it designed this way? The only way I see this working for somebody is if they are short in height therefore having short arms. Torrid is very inclusive when it comes to petite or tall sizing for pants. I don't know why they aren't doing things for tops with arm Length!!
