Women's Ruched Short Sleeves Cropped Open Shrug Jacket

This is a very cute Shrug but it runs VERY small. I bought a large & had to give it to my daughter in law. But she loves it!

I bought this to wear with a strapless sundress, needed something to cover up with a bit. I will do the job, and overall I like it. I paid attention to other reviewers and bought a size larger - I glad I did, they do indeed run small, I'm usually a size small and in a medium this fits with no room to spare. (I'm 5'2" and about 125 lbs.) They fabric is nice and stretchy and lightweight, without being thin and cheap or see-through. I bought mine in white and it's nice and bright. But don't buy this thinking that it will fit like the photo shows - as another reviewer found as well, this will NOT cover the breast area. I'm relatively small, a 36B, and although I can pull the front pieces across my front and they can temporarily stay if my shirt isn't too sleek, as soon as I move they will move back to my sides again. If we all stood still in the that same position as the model in the pic it would work lol. But I really just wanted this as a shoulders and back cover so it's OK. The one thing I really DON'T like is that when the front pieces slide to the sides, they don't drape, the excess fabric there just kinda sticks out a bit. But can't be too picky I guess, for the price this is a god buy.

This doesn't fit over my breast but it works as a covering over my arms which was what I wanted. I'm 5'2" and usually wear a size 12.

The fabric feels nice, but the sizing is wholly too small. The large I purchased barely covered my shoulders, and though the fabric does have stretch, I doubt any amount of fashion tape could have gotten it to sit properly. I normally wear between a medium and large depending on the cut, but this seems to be more a child size large than a women's large.

It is what is for the $$ runs extremely small, The girl in the pic must of been wearing a large lol because my daughter is tiny and the sides didn't go over her chest.

I bought several of these in various colors (charcoal, light grey, red, sky blue) because I have a lot of printed sleeveless 50's style dresses that have a "fit and flare" silhouette. These little bolero/shrug jackets are just the perfect touch for these dresses. I also wear them with bohemian style dresses that have low necklines and/or backs. They can be used for work because you can cover up and still wear spaghetti strap or sleeveless dresses and be appropriate. I also like the fact they are cotton/spandex so the material is not itchy or uncomfortable. As for sizing, I am 36B with broader shoulders and upper arms (due to weight training), so I ordered a size large for all the colors I purchased. Size Large fits just right. May order a few more, can't beat the price!

I normally wear a size medium and ordered the large. I have enough room in the sleeves and shoulders which can sometimes be a problem for me. The oatmeal color is what I thought it would be. The only problem is the front is definitely made for smaller chested ladies so I have to wear it open or it looks funny. And I wear a c cup, which isn't extraordinarily large. I probably could have ordered a medium, but at least the large has a loose enough back to cover the pudge under my bra strap. Update: I wore this to work and I really liked it. I wasn't too hot outside in 85-90 degree weather but my shoulders were appropriately covered. I ordered another in charcoal. It is a legitimate, dark charcoal. It's still not as flattering as the picture (so I'm leaving 4 stars), but it's lightweight and comfortable enough for me to like it.

The yellow color was fun and I wanted to keep it, but the ruching on the sleeves was just not a flattering look on me. I wanted a slimming effect or at least a cover for the excess weight I've put on my upper arms while pregnant. The fit of the sleeves made my arms and upper body look larger. I think the price and quality were fine but the last thing I need is to add the illusion of even more weight to my arms. Alas, had to return.
