Wow, look at all that weight you lost!- You look fabulous!! You must feel so good now! No wonder you have to buy new clothes!
Very amazing and impressive.

Ok, I will wear my mulberry ribbie tomorrow and think of you. Maybe I'll take a picture!

Do the Carrie hoodies have flat-lock seams? Do you find it itchy? How is the sizing? Has anyone gotten to see the charcoal color?
Thanks.

Yes, flat-lock seams everywhere. Very soft on the inside, kind of nubbly-like on the outside, but not itchy....but you wouldn't be wearing it over bare skin anyway- it's more like a hooded jacket, but not heavy. It seems a bit too jacket-like to wear like a sweatshirt around the house. I'm going to wear mine while fitness walking- my heavy wool jackets are too warm when exercising. The Carrie would breathe and it moves and stretches with you.
I like the material as a light sweater/jacket.
Yes, I tried on the charcoal color- very nice! The charcoal is quite slimming visually and it's what I was going to get originally, but in the end I couldn't resist the green color even though the charcoal made me look thinner! Like Sandra, I'm a sucker for green. I tried the oatmeal one on too, but the light color made me look heavy (I have large hips)- if you are thin I imagine it would look great.
It has 4 generous pockets- 2 outside and two inside.
The hood is not skintight, but it fits pretty close to the head, so it's useful, and I think it could fit under a helmet.
Sizing- see my measurements in the previous post. The Large Carrie fits me perfectly over 2 base layers and a shak. I think I could fit the medium if I only wore a base layer under it. The XL was just too big and loose on me in the store.

I have to ditto Lisa on the above. I have this in a medium and it leaves plenty of layering room underneath. (I'm 5'4" and normally wear a 6 on top) The hood does fit under a helmet (I tried it, though I haven't worn it on the bike that way yet) and I do wear mine around the house as a sweatshirt type top. Mine's the thistle heather with the charcoal stripes. it's one of my favorite Ibex items, yet!

Thanks for noticing Lisa! Yeh, so maybe now you understand why I have been so shopping happy this year. I have had to entirely replace my wardrobe. On top of that, l lost all my 'insulation' which is why I appear to have no clue to how to dress for winter! My weight loss is sort of a long story, I found out that I am a type 1.5 diabetic which means I don't make enough insulin. To normalize my blood sugars I had to go on a high protein low carbohydrate diet, but the net result is that by restoring hormonal balance it normalized my body weight too!

I tried to buy the ribby but it didn't give me the free shipping that the post card they sent me promised. So i will call tomorrow if i'm still in the mood. I would have liked to have bought the green but it's only in large. the beige and the blue are not to be considered. but the berry is nice
