Should I buy my jackets and/or hoodies one size bigger than my t-shirts?
I’ll try to make this answer as short as possible.Basically, yes and no. If you are female, refer to the last sentence in this reply.Try it on, if it’s not too tight, get the same size.IE: This pic of off Google.If it’s too tight or looks too well fitted, one size up.IE: This other pic from Google, and also what you normally see on the street.If you’re going for an oversized look, IE: Something straight out of kpop, then two sizes up.Finally, if you’re wearing a coat, then the safest bet is one size up.(The answer is the same if you are a female. Just omit the first one, as skin-tight hoodies don’t fit as good on top-heavy women or just don’t look as good overall)
Where can I buy good quality winter wear in Bangalore? I am leaving for Kashmir in a couple of days.I can't order online as delivery period is 5 days.
Hi, being a resident of Bangalore, I faced the same problem. I was travelling to London and knowing the weather conditions in London, I had to pack some warm clothes. Purchasing from there was not an option. I asked around and a couple of friends from Mumbai recommended this place called Prrem’s. Fortunately for me, I could call for stuff online and they packed and delivered it to me in Bangalore. Lucky for you, Prrem's has come to Bangalore. They have collaborated with Wolfpack and are selling their products here. I had bought my thermals and jackets from here. They worked for me at even subzero temperatures. The collection is moderately priced and it seemed quite affordable. My mom bought a shawl trench coat from Prrem’s. It was a combination of a shawl and a trench coat, they must have really put their heads into designing it. Anyway, I am quite a vagabond myself and I love travelling to colder places. I remember going to this place called Patnitop in Kashmir, you must check it out, it is beautiful! The clothes that I used to buy for such trips barely lasted. Surprisingly, the jackets and thermals I got from Prrem’s are still keeping me just as warm as they did the first time without any deterioration in quality. The customer service lady was also really helpful when I called them up. Since you are in quite a rush, I would recommend you to go to the store and see the entire collection. I’ve already been there and it seems to be doing well. See the fleece lined jackets, they’ve got one of the best. This is the store address : 618, Ground Floor, 80 Feet Main Rd, Koramangala 4th Block, Koramangala, Bengaluru 560034

Where can i find a free knitting pattern for a jumper for a teen girl?
There aren't any free patterns like Macie. The designer says on the Berroco website http://www.berroco.com/knitbits/knitbits... that "Macie was inspired by a jumper/apron I spotted on a waitress in a cafeteria in Union Square, NYC. Knit in Fluff #6601, it has straps of wide twill tape and drawstring cording at the dropped waist and on the pockets." You can, of course, use any yarn that gets the same gauge, but you'll need to buy the pattern. It's in Berroco #261 Nostalgia, which retails for $6. Maybe you can find a used copy for less. Here's a free crochet pattern for a stylish apron: http://www.crochetme.com/more-than-an-ap... You could adapt it by knitting the same shapes & following the finishing instructions. Or add pockets and eyelets for a drawstring to this apron from Knitty: http://www.knitty.com/issuespring04/PATT...
How do I determine my jacket size?
Get a measuring tape and measure yourself around the biggest part of your chest.Also get a jacket that fits you well and that is a good length, and measure the length of it from the nape of your neck to the back hem.Compare those two measurements to the measurements provided for different sizes of the jacket. Take into account whether you are likely to wear thick sweaters or fleece underneath, in which case you may want to order up a size. For coats or jackets I would always order up, not down, if I seemed to be between sizes.Good luck.
