The Grave Knight // Embroidered Crewneck [old sizing]
I love this sweater so much, it's so soft and very comfy. However, my issues are with the fitting. As recommended by other reviews and what the website says, I sized up to a 3xl just to be safe. The body fits me fine, and I like how it looks on my body. However, the sleeves are just ridiculously long and loose. This won't be a problem once I add an elastic to the inside sleeves, but it feels like the sleeves were made for a person who was 7ft tall, not 5'7" like I am. Even if I get the sleeve altered to fit me a little better, it is likely that there will be a visible seam where the alteration was made. This is highly annoying especially since it took so long to arrive and I was very excited to receive it. However, like I originally said, it is very soft and once it's been fixed, I can't wait to wear it around!
Lovely and well made.
I don’t know if this is an issue with me being plus-sized or an issue across sizes in this garment. Based on the size chart, I’m in-between sizes, and I went with the bigger size (4x). It’s a little too loose in the bust and too tight around my stomach and hips, which I’ve come to expect as someone with a pear shaped body. The real issue is with the sleeves. They’re too long and the cuffs are like comically loose. The length wouldn’t be a problem if the cuffs were tight enough to keep them on my wrists, but I think they’re at least twice the size that they’d need to be for that. Truly an unwearable amount of large.
I have other garments from this brand that have similar fit issues (to a much lesser extent) and it kinda feels like their larger sizes might be directly scaled up from their straight sizes and not actually designed with plus size bodies in mind. Though again, I’m very pear shaped, people with different proportions might have better luck.
To end this review on a positive note, the embroidery is beautiful and I do really love the way the neckline looks. I’m gonna look into getting it tailored to make the sleeves fit better.
Very nice and thick sweater. I can’t wait to wear it this winter.
Wunderschönes angenehmes Material absolut seinen Preis wert!
