I normally wear size 16 jeans, 1x or 2x in shirts and a large or xl in men's clothing. I received the cardigan the other day, and it does fit pretty good for the most part, but with being a plus size girl, having it be a little loose is always nice to me. The lace in the back is very pretty and it does go well with another tank top I ordered for another plus size company on Amazon named Torrid. Just wish I would of listened and went up a size actually. I ordered a 2x, and would of went with a 3x.
