The title describes this as 'cotton fleece' but the material is listed as '100% cotton jersey'. Which is correct, and how does the fabric weight and feel compare to a traditional fleece sweatshirt?

The fabric is 100% cotton jersey, but the term 'cotton fleece' in the title is accurate because the jersey knit has a brushed back that gives it a soft, fleece-like texture. Compared to a traditional fleece sweatshirt (which is typically a heavy, napped fabric), this sweatshirt is lighter, smoother on the outside, and feels more like a soft cotton t-shirt with a warm, brushed interior.

What are the exact body measurements for sizes XS through L? I'm 5'6" with a 34-inch bust, and I'm unsure between Small and Medium.

Based on the Ernest Leoty size chart, XS fits a 32-33 inch bust, S fits 34-35 inches, M fits 36-37 inches, and L fits 38-39 inches. At 5'6" with a 34-inch bust, you fall at the top of S or into the S range, so Small should give you a comfortable loose fit as designed. If you prefer a more relaxed oversized look, Medium would also work but may be roomier in the body and sleeves.

Is the corset trim decorative only, or does it provide any shaping or structure? Can it be adjusted via lacing or other means?

The corset-like trim on this sweatshirt is purely decorative — it is sewn flat onto the fabric and has no lacing or adjustment mechanism. It does not provide any shaping or structure; the fit comes from the loose, drop-shoulder silhouette.

How should I care for this sweatshirt? Does the cotton jersey shrink, and is the trim safe for machine washing and drying?

We recommend machine washing the sweatshirt in cold water with like colors and tumble drying on low heat. The 100% cotton jersey may shrink slightly in the first wash, especially if exposed to high heat, so air drying is ideal to minimize shrinkage. The corset trim is made of the same cotton material and is safe for machine washing and drying, but we advise turning the sweatshirt inside out to protect the trim from snagging.

Product Insights

Ernest Leoty's Corset Trim Loose Cotton Fleece Sweatshirt, priced at 385 CAD and in stock, is a 100% cotton jersey garment with a brushed back that mimics fleece without weight, constructed with flatlock seams, drop shoulders, elastic ribbing, and decorative corset trim that is sewn flat with no adjustability or shaping effect. It offers full rotational freedom for overhead binds and deep lunges without hem riding up, while flatlock seams and corset stitching sit flat against the skin to prevent digging during floor poses. Dropped shoulders and ribbed cuffs keep the sweatshirt from riding up or slipping during active poses, and the brushed-back jersey insulates at rest and breathes in motion. Ribbed trim holds shape and flatlock seams reduce friction for longer wear, though the garment may shrink in the first wash and air drying is recommended.

Deep Research

How brushed cotton jersey performs for yoga and pilates

Flatlock stitching sits completely flush against the skin, eliminating the raised interior ridges that dig into hips during pigeon pose or spine during supine twists — a construction detail that translates directly into fewer distractions on the mat.
The brushed interior creates a soft, fleece-like handfeel without the dense weight of standard fleece, so the sweatshirt insulates gently during floor poses yet breathes enough to avoid the clammy buildup that can derail a slow flow.
The oversized silhouette plus dropped armhole seams un-anchor the sleeve from the torso, giving full rotational freedom for overhead binds and deep lunges without the hem riding up or shoulders pulling tight.
Jersey knit’s open-loop construction yields endless air channels that dump excess heat as body temperature rises, making the fabric more breathable than loopback French terry and well-matched to yoga’s alternating activity and stillness.
Ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and hem holds its shape over repeated wear, so sleeves stay put during weight-bearing poses like downward dog without the wrist openings stretching out or the hem creeping up.
