I am looking at some of the cute new hotslings. Wow that site has changed since I had my first daughter. I love the velveteen stretch sling. I measure for size 3, but after looking at old threads about the "stretchy" hotslings, it seems many are sizing down. I am about 5'6', 135lbs and measure 24-25 inches diagonally from shoulder to waist. What size would you go with for the velveteen stretch?

TIA!

I am almost exactly the same size as you and the 3 is way too big. I can wear a 2 and even a 1.

I agree - 3 is definitely too big; you would definitely fit a 2 and maybe even a 1. I am the same height as you and 115 lbs and the 2 was waaay too big on me.

Thanks ladies! That's exactly what I was thinking. I think I'll try a size 2. It has been so long since I have bought a sling!

I bought a 2 for myself in the Velveteen and it fits pretty good. A little loose but a 1 would be too small. So I think a 2 would fit you pretty good.

My husband laughs about how I keep purchasing the newest prints in a size 2 and just conveniently using them instead of selling them. :)
