Review on Columbia Womens Powder Cirrus Medium Women's Clothing for Coats, Jackets & Vests by Jarod Lacy

I usually wear size M in women's jackets and outerwear (I'm 5'6" and 150 lbs but based on all the reviews that warn about sizing , I ordered Large. The large size was too big and I swam in it - I looked like I was wearing a clown costume with everything too big and too big especially around the shoulders and arms. Sent it back and ordered a medium which, as other reviewers have warned, fits very tight. Oddly, the shoulders are very loose and look like they were made for someone with huge biceps, but the armpits, waist, and hips are very tight. Unfortunately, I think, that this jacket is just not for me.
