I usually wear a 1X blouse but will purchase a 2X jacket or sweater because I like them loose.  I thought a 2X size in this fleece vest would be fine.  However, it was too snug.  It fit enough to be worn but not loose enough to be comfortable.  The pink is very pretty and the vest is soft but I do not know if it is well made as I did not keep it long enough to try it out.  I returned it and was disappointed that it didn't fit as I wanted it to.
