   I seriously love this sweater. I mean, it has bells on it! It’s incredibly soft and very thick. It will definitely keep me warm. I love how generous it is with the length of the sleeves and the torso. It makes it that much more cozy. I’m 5’4″ with a 37″ bust, 32″ waist (leftover fat from recent baby), and 37″ hips, and I got a large. I should say that this is certainly NOT slimming. It probably adds bulk. But this is a sweater, and I was sort of expecting that. I wonder if a medium would have looked better on me, since I had a little room to spare, especially in the sleeves. But then it might have been a little too snug on my tummy. That’s the trouble with having a baby pooch with normal-sized arms.

   Last year I kept looking at all the Christmas “sweaters” made by Isabella’s Closet, but I could never bring myself to buy one.They seem thin and cheap and not long enough. I’m so happy there’s a new brand to look at now! I got this on a slight sale, but I think it’s well worth the full thirty dollars. I would very happily buy another sweater by Derek Heart.

   I added some pictures to show how this fits me, along with a few closeups to show the detail of this sweater. Please excuse my weird-looking face; it was a no-makeup day for me today. (I have little kids. I sometimes have to choose between putting on makeup and eating.)

   UPDATE – 12-8-15:

   Today’s the first day I’ve worn this all day long, and I’m not disappointed at all in the coziness of it. If someone was watching me, they’d probably wonder why I keep petting myself–the penguin is just really soft and fluffy. Also, the bells are holding up well, even through my eight-month-old’s curiosity.

   I briefly considered lowering my review to four stars because I think this could have fit me a bit better, but I decided not to, since it’s my fault I didn’t order the right size. I really think a medium would have been much better for me. It’s too late, though, since I already threw away the tag. I’ll just have to remember the sizing for my next Derek Heart sweater. I had assumed this fit like other Juniors clothes on me and that I’d need a large, but maybe this fits a bit bigger than the usual Juniors stuff.

   This really does make me look bigger than I am. I’ll have to post a couple more pictures to show that. I think it’s especially bulky in the shoulders, and my broad shoulders don’t help with that any. I have a healthy level of vanity, so I’d be lying if I said the bulkiness doesn’t bother me at all, but I’m confident enough with myself to not let it deter me from wearing this fluffy bundle of Christmas cheer.

   Won’t be too small, December 7, 2015

   I’m 5 foor 4 hovering around 115 pounds, and despite my worries that a Junior’s sweater would be too small, size small was perfect! It’s not tight but does fit around the form nicely. The bells are adorable, the penguin is fuzzy, and the sweater’s quality is fairly good. I gave 4/5 stars as opposed to 5/5 because there are some loose threads (pictures included), but since I’m not going to be wearing this incredibly often, I’m not too upset.

   Overall pretty nice 🙂

   Love this sweater! I bought it for our Christmas party and I’m very happy with it. It’s a nice thickness, super soft, and I love the little jingle from the bells when I walk. I’m usually between a small and a medium (sleeves are usually too short with a small) but ordered the small anyways because this sweater looked oversized. The sleeves ended up being just long enough on me so it doesn’t have the oversized look but I like it even better, especially because that way the sweater isn’t overly bulky.
