Women's Ruched Short Sleeves Cropped Open Shrug Jacket

Item fits a little tight (bought a large). I ordered "grape," which, according to the swatch, is a royal-type purple. It came as a magenta color. The color is not ugly, and the material is nice, so I am keeping it, but it does NOT go with the outfit I had intended when ordered.

I bought several of these in various colors (charcoal, light grey, red, sky blue) because I have a lot of printed sleeveless 50's style dresses that have a "fit and flare" silhouette. These little bolero/shrug jackets are just the perfect touch for these dresses. I also wear them with bohemian style dresses that have low necklines and/or backs. They can be used for work because you can cover up and still wear spaghetti strap or sleeveless dresses and be appropriate. I also like the fact they are cotton/spandex so the material is not itchy or uncomfortable. As for sizing, I am 36B with broader shoulders and upper arms (due to weight training), so I ordered a size large for all the colors I purchased. Size Large fits just right. May order a few more, can't beat the price!

I bought this shrug to go over a dress. I bought the light yellow and the color online looked lighter than it actually is. It's more of a regular yellow. It fits okay. I sized up to a medium based on previous reviews and maybe I shouldn't have done that, but it fits alright. It doesn't stay on my chest, it kind of falls to the sides, but that's okay.

The fabric feels nice, but the sizing is wholly too small. The large I purchased barely covered my shoulders, and though the fabric does have stretch, I doubt any amount of fashion tape could have gotten it to sit properly. I normally wear between a medium and large depending on the cut, but this seems to be more a child size large than a women's large.

I am a size 6 and ordered the Large which is still a little snug. It' rolls under the arms and doesn't stay put across the torso. The quality of fabric is decent for the price, may last me a season or two. It's more for casual wear, nothing fancy.

I'm a US adult size 6 (5' 5", about 120 lbs) and was debating whether to order S or M after reading the reviews. I wanted a look where the front of the cardigan does NOT cover my chest, but opens up to the side without looking baggy. I wanted the cardigan to look fitting from the sides and back too, so I went for size S, and it gave me the look I wanted! A size M would have too much cloth in front and will not fit to my back like a glove. So my conclusion is whatever size you order, it depends on what kind of look you want ultimately.When laying the cardigan flat, the measurements are as follows: - Shoulder seam to shoulder seam 14" (my shoulders length is 1" longer than 14"); Shoulder to bottom of cardigan 12"; Armpit to armpit 17"; Bottom of cardigan (seam to seam) 13"; Length of sleever (shoulder seam to bottom of sleeve) 8"; Circumference of arm opening 8" (my arm is 1" larger). And these measurements fit me.The front of the cardigan can still cover my front if I pull the front flaps together, but they will not stay there permanently - and that's exactly what I wanted cuz I don't want the front to cover my top/dress I'm wearing underneath. The design of the front of the cardigan is shaped and machined in a way it's supposed to cup the busts... so it might look weird if I order larger sizes and have the extra lump of cloth in front (just my opinion). If you observe the various pictures put up by the different sellers for this cardigan (though they are called by different brand names), you can see that when the model in the pic pose with their arms in akimbo, you can see the extra cloth under their armpit when you look from the front, side and back, and how the cardigan separates from the model. If you're going for the look worn by the model from 'Ambiance Apparel Women's Bolero Shrug Cardigan (in color Coral)', then I'd suggest using the size chart provided by the webpage, and the dimensions I've provided above. Sorry, I can only provide measurements for a size S cardigan.

I returned this item - could not even believe it when I unpacked it. It was smaller than a pair of hose, and about the same quality. I ordered a medium - and if it was pantyhose and not a shrug, I would say it would hardly fit my one leg. lol

The yellow color was fun and I wanted to keep it, but the ruching on the sleeves was just not a flattering look on me. I wanted a slimming effect or at least a cover for the excess weight I've put on my upper arms while pregnant. The fit of the sleeves made my arms and upper body look larger. I think the price and quality were fine but the last thing I need is to add the illusion of even more weight to my arms. Alas, had to return.
