Pick a store, find the item, look at the sizing, order it and move on.
Just because you give her height and weight, no one would be able to guess her size because there is more to size than height and weight.


How about a gift card instead of the actual item?

That's about my size. I am rather big on top and wear a 1X. If she's small or average on top she may wear an XL. Buy whatever it is locally so she can return it if need be even if you have to bring her there. You can take her to lunch after.

LLBean and Lands End would be my choice. However, at your price point you may want to check out Chadwick's of Boston. Pretty good quality and less expensive.

Anyway, she used the phrase button down sweater specifically. I wouldn't have come up with that. I guess it could apply to a cardigan. This is also meant to be a surprise as she just mentioned that she needed one and isn't really expecting a gift from me. I thought it would be nice to do though.

She wears sweatpants and things of that sort a lot so that's what it would go with. She'd definitely like something more practical than fashionable.


If she wears a lot of sweat pants maybe she would like a fleece jacket. They kinda go with sweats.
I used to buy my Mom a lot of things from Blair. I learned that if I bought her something expensive it would just sit in a drawer.


This one has a ton of colors.

As for size. Shouldn't be that hard to peak in her closet. Better yet offer to do some laundry. If shes worn it you know it fits.
