This vest is so lovely, I wish we could see the lining when wearing... its so pretty. I am a 14-16 and ordered the XL which is perfect. I can wear buttoned or undone for different looks. The fabric is a beautiful quality and the covered buttons classy. I want to say this brand's sizing is so consistent as is the quality of the fabric and construction. I know the price point is above average but these garments will last a life time and in todays throw away climate, that is what we need more of, garment that will not date or become misshapen. Thank you Foundling.
