I don’t know if this is an issue with me being plus-sized or an issue across sizes in this garment. Based on the size chart, I’m in-between sizes, and I went with the bigger size (4x). It’s a little too loose in the bust and too tight around my stomach and hips, which I’ve come to expect as someone with a pear shaped body. The real issue is with the sleeves. They’re too long and the cuffs are like comically loose. The length wouldn’t be a problem if the cuffs were tight enough to keep them on my wrists, but I think they’re at least twice the size that they’d need to be for that. Truly an unwearable amount of large.
I have other garments from this brand that have similar fit issues (to a much lesser extent) and it kinda feels like their larger sizes might be directly scaled up from their straight sizes and not actually designed with plus size bodies in mind. Though again, I’m very pear shaped, people with different proportions might have better luck.
To end this review on a positive note, the embroidery is beautiful and I do really love the way the neckline looks. I’m gonna look into getting it tailored to make the sleeves fit better.
