Way better than expected. I made the mistake of reading reviews after it was too late to cancel order I was sure that after wanting this top for so long it was a bad move since there are many saying it was a weird for and such. Well. It came. And it's just the most perfect top I got black MEDIUM the drawstring top and guess what it's the best. True to size I'm 145lbs 5'1". Edit: so now that I wear it I notice that I appear pregnant. So for all you/us xtra ladies .... Avoid empire waists. Ugh. It's still a cute top though.
