This is...weird; there seems to be proportionally a lot more fabric in the front than in the back, as it it's made for a very-large-busted person. I usually take an 8/10 but ordered a 12 on the advice of the sizing guidelines and it is *way* too big. I like the style overall however and will try getting two sizes smaller because if it fit correctly it would be pretty good. Sleeves are quite long so this isn't good for a petite person.
