The vest itself is great quality! There’s even a thing in the back to pull the vest in to give the illusion of a cinched waist. I listened to the other reviews and sized up to a 1x, but honestly my regular size XL would have fit me as well. I’m not mad at the 1x because I do plan on layering and putting a turtleneck underneath it so I think it will help make it more tight. I’d say if you do not have big boobs or stomach, just get your regular size. I’m not mad at my purchase at all, it’s giving old money vibes and I plan on pairing it with the Jana Pleated Sweater Mini Skirt in the khaki color.
