The Lumia hoodie, version 1 (see it here), was an ok fit but still very long on me.
It also seemed like it could handle pretty heavyweight sweatshirting.
I hated my mixed fabrics (a friend loved it, so it went to her!)
So I got this nice heavy sweatshirting from The Fabric Box and matching rib as well. I remembered to shorten my rib!
Still size C. This time I shortened it further in the front by just cutting the bottom upwards a bit, and lengthened the back hem, since it seemed to sit relatively high on me compared to the front. So that was functionally a hi-low hem alteration. I didn't shorten it further through the middle, since I didn't want to shorten the design feature too much. I think I could shorten it above the pockets if I still wanted it shorter next time.
It was an easy sew. I still didn't use twill tape on the back of the zip, but I'm happy with this hoody. It's heavier than current Lululemon ones since the hood is lined and my fabric is quite heavy (and of course because the current Lululemon quality has become super shit!)
