I did as others suggested and ordered a size up. And it fit perfectly. It is loose around the waist, but quite flattering and will hide those extra holiday pounds. The color is bright and true to the picture. I may need to order another one.
Beautiful detail, great quality and flattering fit. Had to re order a size up as the chest measurement was too tight on me. xl measured 40" in chest and there is no stretch to it. I am hoping the xxl will not be too big.
By the way Novica has great customer service!
