Great Jacket, but not shaped for the girl that wants function while still looking like a girl

I originally ordered an XS in this jacket, and why wouldn't I? I own plenty TNF items, including other jackets, and every jacket/top/sweater is an XS (including a jacket I just purchased about 2 months ago). This jacket arrived and was too small! It fit in the waist with a little room, but squished my B-cup/small C-cup chest! Shaped almost like it wasn't a woman's jacket. I'm disappointed that I had to pay for return shipping. I exchanged for a size S since I liked the jacket enough, but now I've realized it isn't nicely shaped for a woman's body like other TNF items are. Slightly boxy-looking, not as curvy like in the picture, but not terrible. :(

It is warm, compact, light-weight, super-soft on the inside and against my face, and very functional. For those reasons, and because I don't want to pay for another return, I'll keep it. I would have given it 5 stars if it was made more with a woman's figure in mind while still being functional.
