Alternative Women's Maniac Eco Fleece Sweatshirt

5'9"/160/36DD purchased the XL in Ecco Royal. Color and fit are as pictured. Please be aware this is JUNIORS sizing and would probably not fit as a loose-fit style anyone larger than me. Sleeves are nice and long. I might order another color. Also, the "ecco" material has a washed, "lived-in" look to the material (slightly pilled, nubby) so if you hate that, look for something else. I like the unfinished neckline and length. Have not washed it yet and do expect it to shrink a little to the perfect fit. See photo. I hope this review was helpful to you.**update** purchased in ecco wheat and ecco fuchsia colors as well. Both the wheat and fuchsia colors fit slightly smaller than the Royal in my photo. I will still keep them, but will not put them in the dryer.

I really like this top a lot, but the fabric is not of good quality so after the first wash it got mildly pilly. It didn't get worse and worse with subsequent washes but it does look like poor quality because of the mild pilling. I like the fit a lot - I am 5'4" approx 120 pounds, small boned, small chest and the small size fits me well. The sleeves and body are fitted but not at all tight . I really like the scoop neck too although it is not finished and was simply cut (i.e. they didn't fold back the edges and sew it for a finished look. I like the colors too - I got the sort of greenish aqua and the grey with black and white striped sleeves. I like that the fabric is neither heavy nor too light but the fact that it looked somewhat pilly after the first wash is has prevented me from buying more. If not for the fabric problem, this seriously would be one of my favorite tops. I do wear them out as they fit great, feel great, and have the very practical pocket without a bulky hood, but if I was going anywhere that I cared about what people might think of me, I would be hesitant to wear it because of the fabric makes it look cheap if seen from close up. I wish the manufacturer would use a better fabric that would not pill at all and this would be a fantastic top. Another feature I REALLY LOVE is that it has the convenient front pocket of a real sweatshirt but does not have a hood. I have found it very difficult to find a pullover sweatshirt with a pocket that doesn't have a hood.

I originally bought this 1-2 years ago at Nordstrom Rack and it was my favorite sweatshirt. I got a hole in it (my husband accidentally washed some screws in my load of the laundry) and desperately looked for a replacement. I love the cut, style, and softness that much!!! However, this one pulled under the armors and sides after 4-5 washes. I still love the cut and style but believe they definitely changed the fabric from when this was sold at Nordstrom. For $25 (ish) you get what you pay for, I guess.

I was looking for a soft, comfy sweatshirt top to wear in the evenings with yoga pants... something comfortable but also not completely schlumpy. This sweatshirt is exactly what I was looking for. Very soft, slightly fitted (fits closer to the body than a regular pullover sweatshirt but isn't tight), with a nice wide neckline. Please note: this STAYS on my shoulders (as opposed to being off-the-shoulder). I like it this way -- it is very attractive, but still warm/not too revealing. It is a wide neckline but isn't always falling off.I usually wear a medium shirt when I want it to "fit." I wanted this to be a little oversized so I got the large and it fits perfectly, exactly how I wanted it to fit -- still attractive but definitely comfy. I have a 32DD chest and it isn't too tight.

For the price this is a good product. I thought it ran true to size. I'm 5'7, 135 and ordered a medium. It shrunk a bit in the wash.Super warm, but must wash before wearing because it leaves little fuzzies on everything

i am about 5'6" 125lbs athletic/fit. i am between sizes and think a medium would have fit best since it is more of a sweatshirt style. love the design, hope this helps others pick their size!

I’m 5’7 130. I typically were a S/M but sized up to a large per review and glad I did. I love the slouchy look this gives. Very soft material and sits nicely off one shoulder if that’s how you prefer to wear it. Has thread in the back to keep the shirt in place instead of falling down your arm!

This sweater is very plush on the inside. There is a plastic string on the back to keep it slightly off the shoulder. I made the mistake of cutting it off and now the sweater is constantly slipping down. I may sew on a ribbon or something. Keep the plastic thing on! The material is kinda thick and very warm which is not great in LA weather. I save the sweater for only the coldest days.

Lounge wear - cozy fit, soft fabric. Pleased with it.

Warm and soft.
