    Love the look!

    I wore this with the matching pants to a wedding and got so many compliments! I am 5'2" with 34G bra size and based on my measurements ordered an XL, but found that it was too big, even with a shirt underneath. Unless you are going for an oversized look, I think it looks better when buttoned if it's more snug. side note: returning it was so easy and fast, even from across the country. I had the new one to my door in less than a week from when I sent the bigger size back.

    A terrific addition to my wardrobe

    I originally bought this because it could be used in both formal and informal settings. It looks great with tshirts/button ups and chinos/slacks.

    However it came in clutch (and saved me a lot of stress) when I needed to pull together an outfit for a funeral service - nothing was fitting right or was too bright... Then a couple days before, it arrived in the mail! Saved by a vest that ties everything together. Thanks for making a tough time easier WildFang :)

    I already have plans for more outfit combinations with this vest. I love the color and texture! I am seriously toying with the idea of getting a second one.

    Wore to casual wedding

    Ordered a medium-fit great. Good quality and comfortable. Length sat well and buttons stayed secured. I have a chubby midsection so I was worried at first. Think everything looked okay though. Would purchase more items in the future.

    Very nice. Pairs well with multiple colours. Well made. Had to size up and tailor down a few spots, but was expecting due to my short height and body shape.

    I really like the shape of this vest; I have a larger chest and the high neck of this piece helped to minimize my attention on that.
