According to the size chart, this should have fit me perfectly, however, that is not the case. When I put it on, I felt like I was putting on a straight jacket. The arms were way too tight and didn't allow for much more than a t-shirt to be worn. Forget about wearing your favorite sweatshirt or heavy sweater, or any sweater for that matter. I understand that we are women and we are supposed to look as appealing as possible, no matter what we're wearing, but this is ridiculous. We need to be able to layer under our coats and wear whatever we want and have our coats fit comfortably over EVERYTHING. I sent the coat back, on my dime might I add, and went to a local store and purchased a men's layered coat and it was less than half the price of this and fits great. Only tight around the hips because men don't have hips. Just don't buy this unless your body is like a stick figure.
