First things first, I love this velvet.
The fit left me wanting though, ymmv. I know boxy/oversized drop shoulder fits are trendy right now, but I wasn’t anticipating this to fall in that category. I found it awkward to lift my arms in this due to the top of the shoulders being both over shot and prone to unpleasant bunching. I also expected a more “fitted” tailoring given the description. I fear a size down would be too small and even more restrictive in the shoulders.
Again, your experience may vary. It might be that I’m between sizes or not onboard with some current trends. If you are layering and don’t need to raise your arms, this might be fine.
