Too Fitted

By Ranked #1441 - Women's Down Jackets March 23, 2009

I loved the look, the price, the color, and the feel of the fabric. I'm not overweight and I have long arms. This jacket was made for long arms and that's about it. I'm 5 foot 9 inches and I weigh about 132. Despite the flare at the hips you need to be a stick without hips to wear the jacket. I ordered a medium which did fit. The jacket is seriously fitted to your shape. The arm holes on the body are very close to your arm pit and feel constricting. It just fit and would never have allowed for anything more than a thin shirt let alone wearing a sweater. The sleeves were great, but I would never have been comfortable in this jacket. I didn't reorder a large. I just didn't love the style enough to want to.
