Hi I am usually a XL in tops here...Bust 41 to 42....I purchased an 1X because the chart said 44 to 45 bust and because it's a jacket I wanted it to actually button if i wanted and not be skin tight ...good call because it fits perfection.....so for me 2 to 3 inches above my bust size was perfect for a denim moto jacket....it has slight stretch but i wouldn't factor that in too much....got it half off too so that is a win....I don't know if i would pay full for it.....it is cute though and i have long arms....71 reach tip to tip so this had sleeves long enough! I am not going to dry this though will hang to dry I don't want to lose the arm and bust sizing..... Anyway CUTE! It's also cropped but not horriblely short...I say high waist and I have a long torso too.... Perfect...just measure and account that in how tight you want it...mine buttons without strain and does not pull gap. Bust 41-42 1X says 44-45 Bust Waist 31-33 high low.... Hope this helps and everyone needs to list size they are and measurements on listings so it's actually helpful because the clothed here fit all different..I read reviews to help decide and I look snatched reviews just don't cut it lol.....
