This had zero stretch. I could only button the first 3 buttons on the front. The sleeves can't even button. why didn't they use at least 1inch on elastic material. I'm keeping as XL is not available and I've been trying to get this shirt for a year now. the buttons left open works and I'll just get some button extentions for the sleeves with lace to make it look like a specific style. maybe I'll do the same on the front, find some pink lace to extend the buttons. it's a really cute shirt I will make it work. hopefully they get XL and I can get that one.
