By Ranked #2806 - Women's Down Jackets March 31, 2009

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?

It sounds to me like the XL with shortened sleeves is the best current solution. I always like to have a little bit of room for layers under winter jackets...
