Look this is great quality and I love wearing it. 5 stars for that alone….. BUT…. purchasing was a struggle with fit. Suggest try on in-store, try multiple sizes AND multiples of the SAME size. I think the sizing inconsistency I experienced was due to the elastic at waist, and how it was stitched to rest of fabric (same issue in the jacket). I tried multiples to get the right fit. HOWEVER LOVELY when it does fit and GOOD QUALITY. Matching Skirt is lengthy and fabric weighty. Also suggest overall size down. (Photo shows the size XL jacket - see stitching inconsistency at waist, and why one felt tighter/ looked smaller than other. Same in skirt but didn’t have photo).
