I LOVE this vest! It is slightly tapered for a more flattering fit. I ordered the brown. It is a rich color & the black trim gives it an expensive look. It was a perfect fit right out of the bag. It has only been worn once, so I don't know how well it washes or if it shrinks. If it shrinks, I would strongly suggest ordering the next size larger. I will definitely order more. I have my eye on the light pink & white!!!
