Fit & Sizing
Does this top run oversized, or should I size down?
Yes—multiple reviewers said it fits roomy/oversized. One customer found the XS “swimming” on them, and another who normally wears a 14 bought a Large and found it too big, then exchanged to a Medium. If you’re between sizes or prefer a neater fit, sizing down is a common choice mentioned in reviews.
Based on 3 customer reviewsIs the length good for shorter heights or shorter torsos?
Yes—one reviewer specifically loved the length on their shorter height and torso, and another mentioned being “vertically challenged” and found their usual size too big, implying fit (including proportions) matters for petites. If you’re shorter, reviews suggest the length can work well, but you may want to consider sizing down to avoid extra volume.
