The cut it tight and the shirt doesn't have any stretch to it. I almost returned it, but it looked good, so I'm going to try it. It was a bit tight in the shoulders and back, but hey I'm not working out in it. The beading was weird on the front, about 3" higher on one side than the other. I decided to cut off two rows to even it out. I don't know if this was an imperfection, or I just got a bad shirt. I looked as if the beading was hand sewn on, so I'll have to hand wash the shirt or dry clean it. It's definitely a delicate care item. Othewise it's pretty cute.
