i love love love this jacket. after reading the reviews i was afraid to go with a medium, my measurements fit the medium in the size chart, but i went with the reviews and got a small. it was way too little so i sent it back and got a medium and it is perfect!!!!! my measurements are 35 1/2 bust, 29 inch waist, and 39 inch hips and i am 5'3". i weigh 135 pounds. i found it to be very true to size. the jackets , type wise, are all cut different. in the venture jacket, they are made really big and i would need a small in it. but this jacket definetly a medium.
