sadly I am 5' 1" and 147 lbs. the size large fits like a glove-- and looks great (although not an eighth of an inch to spare and I can't wear it over layers.) I'm afraid if I get the XL it will be too large in the shoulders and i know the sleeves would have to be shortened (even the sleeves on the large are a little too long, I just folded them under an inch or 2). Any advice as to size? If I lose 10 pounds (hubby's suggested solution) would the XL be way too large or just comfortable?
