I usually wear a size 12 / L but in this case all that was available was an XL.  I took the chance figuring I can go either way sometimes and since these are to be baggy, well...Turns out the XL could fit a typical size 8 woman!  The other issue is, I ordered the dark olive.  It was every bit a chocolate brown.  I returned for a refund.  Too bad, since the 100% silk fabric felt wonderful.  I'm kinda bummed that I can't own these.  Oh well.
