Customers overwhelmingly praise the jacket for its soft, lightweight, slightly stretchy fabric that feels comfortable and durable.

While fit inconsistencies—particularly oversized sizing and disproportionate sleeve length—prompt many to size down or seek alterations, most customers find solutions and remain satisfied. A few mention concerns about fabric texture or durability, but the majority consider it a reliable, timeless wardrobe staple worth the investment.
Even though the fabric's only 2% spandex, this thing feels so plastic-fabric and stretchy that the St. Elmo's Fire line came immediately to mind. It's a shame -- the drape is good,

Good jacket, poor fit for me
Fit: Too small

High hopes for this little on sale jacket but the fit was bulky, unflattering and the sleeves are VERY long. It's also cut quite short.

Size Purchased: Large
Blah. Fit was fine, it's the fabric I couldn't stand. Spongey and weird, nothing like cotton despite the 98% contents. Returned.

Very cute jacket. Perfect for spring.
Such a cute jacket but the sleeves were too long. This is a problem I find often. The problem is not the jacket, its me.

Height: 5'5"
Size Purchased: Small

Love the soft, substantial cotton fabric and the lovely blue color. Although the small fit in the shoulders, it was somewhat oversized in the body and the sleeves were a bit long.
