I am 5'7 and 135lbs. I do not consider myself "big" for a woman, but I have long arms and broad shoulders. I rarely find a women's jacket with the "just right" feeling. The sleeves always leave my wrists exposed and I have the "fat guy in a little coat" feeling. However, this jacket is an exception. The size 8 fit perfectly.
I loved everything about this jacket except for the color. Here's the good stuff: 1. The sleeves fit perfectly and it was wide enough across the back. 2. The length was perfect. It wasn't too long and hit at an attractive place on my hips. 3. It felt like a broken- in sweater: warm and cozy.
EXCEPT: The color on the website looks more lemon than lime and I liked the color as it appears in the website. However, as described, it is, indeed, "sharp lime." My fault: I should have based my choice on the description, not as it appears on the website. All in all, I really loved this coat, just didn't think I was cool enough to rock the color.
p.s. I pulled out my jacket from 7th grade; the one with shoulder pads and a fitted waist. It is the same color as this jacket. :)
