Locate the Drawstring Before Sizing This Sweater

The S–5XL chart grows much more in bust than sleeve length; the drawstring placement is unspecified.

The solid drawstring long-sleeve sweater lists Black and White options and an S–5XL chart. Its title says drawstring, but the measurements do not identify where that drawstring sits or how far it adjusts. Before treating it as a way to shorten or tighten the top, ask for front, side and inside views showing both ends of the cord.

Compare width and body length first

Across S to 5XL, listed bust grows from 111 to 146 cm and body length from 72 to 79 cm. Sleeve length grows only from 51.7 to 53.8 cm, while shoulder grows from 66 to 83.5 cm. If a shopper is between sizes for chest room, moving up adds substantial garment width but little sleeve length. Compare the chart with a favourite loose sweater measured at the same points; ask for the measurement convention before adding any body ease. A hem drawstring, if that is where it is placed, would not add bust room, but its actual location has not been verified.

The page lists 95% polyester and 5% spandex but gives no stretch test, drawstring adjustment span or care instruction for this exact item. It also calls the fit simply “fit,” which cannot replace a finished-garment comparison. Choose the colour only after confirming the photographed construction matches the selected option. The purpose of the chart is to narrow a question, not to promise that the 5XL body and arm fit resemble those of an unrelated brand.
