Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start off this review with the fact that I'm very happy with my purchase! This jacket is everything I expected it to be. It wouldn't have been had I not read the reviews on sizing. I've included a couple photos with my review. In my front photo, you can see the arm length is not too long and not too short. You can also see that I was able to tie the waist tie with a lot of room to spare. I'm able to zip up and button up without any struggle. I'm not overly big in the chest, most my weight is the waist & hips but I feel like those with a little more up top with still have enough room. There was not one area where I felt like it was too snug! I wanted to show the length of the jacket also. It's just long enough to cover the booty. I'm 5'8" and normally wear a size 2 in tops (I like my tops a little loose) & 18 jeans. Based on the measurements in the sizing chart for this jacket, I should have been a 2XL. However, most of the reviews warned to size down. There were a few that suggested to size up! It was so nerve racking trying to decide what to do! I went with the majority & sized down to 1XL! As you can see in the photos, I'm very happy with my choice! I probably could have even got away with getting a Large BUT I do like have a little room to play with. I bought this jacket for my upcoming cruise to Alaska. I'm really hoping it works well for me, I'll update after if I can remember.
