This is a really cute and multi-functional hoodie. They do not run small, they run true-to-size or larger. I haven't washed mine yet so I don't know if they will shrink.  I usually wear a Women's Large or XL and these are Juniors Sizes, but they still fit on the larger side....more like Misses or Womens Sizes.  The burn-out fabric adds a little flare and although the fabric is thin, it doesn't look cheap. It is a good buy for the money. The neck is just the slightest bit tight, but not too tight, and the shirt falls well below the hips and I am 5'4"....that's great for wearing over leggings! I ordered one in Large and two in Extra Large and both sizes fit fine. I think I like the fit of the Large the best, a bit more form-fitting without being too tight.....that is, if it doesn't shrink. Otherwise, the XL's will be just fine either way.  I'm sure I'll be wearing these hoodies year-round. I'd highly recommend this hoodie, especially for the price, if you like this style.  You can dress it up or down year round from winter right into summer and will be a great swim-suit coverup or sleep-shirt as well. Super little shirt!
