Review on Stay Stylish And Warm With Minibee Women'S Vintage Corduroy Vest Jacket by Eric Smalley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Way too large!: my feedback

As always, the quality of this Minibee item is outstanding both the construction and the 100% cotton corduroy fabric are very good. The color 'yellow' I ordered is a little less yellow and bordering on camel, which I like. This outer vest would have been so suitable -- However, the sizing is out in left field! I did expect this garment to be over-sized, but not quite like this! I am a US women's size 6/UK size 8, and usually order size small and x-small tops. Here, the smallest size one can order in this vest is "Medium", so I went with that and took a chance, as other Mediums I have ordered from Minibee in the past do fit me. Unfortunately in the case of this vest the M is more like an X-Large. The photos provided here of the models wearing what appears to be a "small' size by conventional standards -- "Medium" according to Minibee's size chart -- is most deceiving. The armholes on the item I received are enormous, and the whole garment is nearly twice as big as pictured on the models here! Minibee still has some work to do on getting the sizing right with each item they offer. And deceptive photos of the items on their models does not serve the company or the customer. Sorry for having to return this without a smaller alternative!

Pros
  • I love vests. Perfect for getting my temp just right. Comfy, long enough but not too long, pockets. ❤️
Cons
  • Bigger in weird spots. The material is good and the color is beautiful. Too baggy I’d say.
