After ordering a size Large last year and having to send it back as it was too small in the hips, I ordered an X-Large this time, thinking that would work. Sadly, the hips are actually smaller than the bust size for this item. I am 5'5", weight 125 and normally wear a size 6 - tops, bottoms, dresses, etc. I do like a roomy hoodie though, which is why I ordered an X-Large. Since District Threads did not provide a hip measurement in their sizing chart, I looked at other places that sell hoodies (like Columbia, LL Bean, etc.). According to other's sizing charts, an X-Large should be around 42" to 45-1/2" inches in the hips. District Threads hip measurement for the X-Large is only 37", which means that if you try to zip the hoodie, it will barely stretch to the 37".

I would have just let last year's review stand when I returned the hoodie this year, but since I was charged an additional 15% restocking fee by District Threads, I felt I needed to warn others that this hoodie is NOT made for a female shape and that if you try it and it doesn't work, you'll have to pay return shipping (it's not an Amazon prime item) plus be charged the restocking fee as well. I think since it is non-traditional female sizing and the measurements are not provided anywhere online, that fee should not have been charged. All that being said, though, I still think this is a nice hoodie, and a good red.
