Bought this for a halloween costume (warlock) for a dance performance, and it worked great! I'm 5'5, 150 lb. with an average-athletic build, and the medium fit just right, the size chart was right.The vest itself is pretty nice and well made, the buttons have the same fabric design as the rest of the vest. Only bad part is that the strap on the back doesn't grip well and becomes loose, but I just tied it, no big deal.See full review
