Warm, but unflattering

Ranked #399 - Women's Vests
December 27, 2009
After trying it on, I returned this vest immediately, solely because the cut was so big and boxy. I am 5'4" 125lbs, and I looked HUGE in this vest. It was so unflattering that my boyfriend laughed when I showed him.
Looks aside, I love the Isis brand and have several of their jackets. I am sure that this vest would function just as well as those, but I looked ridiculous in it. I exchanged this vest for the Cloudveil Inversion vest, which I now live in because the cut is so flattering and the 700 down fill keeps me toasty.
