Children's outerwear, a must have .. excellent quality, fit & price!
Size: X-Small, Color: White
One of the very best pull over sweatshirts I've come across. Quality fabric with an amazing cut & fit that rises above the standard, more boxy cut of children's sweatshirts I've purchased in the past. With an 8 year old granddaughter that's constantly on the go & is never cold lol, I needed a piece of outerwear that wasn't too thick, bulky or restrictive that she'd forget she was wearing. A piece of clothing that would keep her warm yet comfortable, thru out her day & boy did I hit the jackpot. All of the above plus an overall amazing fit & stylish look I wasn't expecting but could tell she absolutely loved. An added bonus, after at least 15 or more washes to-date, it still looks & fits as good as it did the very first time she wore it. I've since purchased other similar items but none compare. An excellent buy !!!!

Great fit and comfortable for gym class
Size: X-Large, Color: Bright Pink
My daughter wore this for her gym class and it fit her really well. She didn’t complain about it being tight or uncomfortable, and she loved the color. The material feels soft and lightweight, and it held up well after washing. I’d buy it again in another color.

A very adorable, exceptional quality sweatshirt for a inexpensive price, bought two
Size: Small, Color: Light Mauve
I bought two of these for my granddaughters as well as iron on stickers from Amazon to put their initials on the front of the shirt. The sweatshirts were some of the best quality I’ve ever seen from the stitching, to the thickness, softness. And not to mention the price.

Great hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Navy
Got this hoodie for my son and he’s been living in it ever since. It’s thick, warm, and fits really well. The color looks even better in person, and it’s held up after a few washes with no fading or shrinking. You can tell it’s good quality by the stitching and feel. Definitely worth it if you want something that’s both cozy and stylish.
