I figured it would be a little long on me considering I'm not an "average" woman. I'm only 4'10" and 125lbs, so the medium fits ok in the upper area, the arms, and the waist, but the v-neck is really uncomfortable since I'm not very large chested and the shoulders keep sliding down. The worst part for me is the length. Even with heels on, I am consistenly tripping over it, so I may need to find a belt to hold it up. I do love the sleeves and the feel of the material, but for someone like myself, it's so hard to find appealing cosplay unless I get it tailored to fit. Still worth it though.
