Review on Columbia Womens Splash Little Jacket Women's Clothing - Coats, Jackets & Vests by Gary Beard

I usually wear a 20w or 2x for almost every garment I wear but due to comments about the slim fit of this jacket I have ordered up to 3x for layering. The sleeves are VERY long - even at 5ft 6in they were below the fingertips. The cuffs of the sleeves have Velcro, but there is a balloon effect between the wrist and the elbow. Shoulder and chest area is too loose. (surprises me because of my broad shoulders). The hip area was good - neither loose nor tight. The biggest issue with the fit seems to be tight armholes. This jacket is not designed for lightness in this area - due to the layering with the medium-weight sweater, the armhole area was very narrow. I chose blazers with more room in the armhole area. This gives the wearer the feeling that the shoulders are too small. The overall effect of relaxed shoulders, relaxed breasts, tight armholes, and puffed sleeves was neither comfortable nor attractive. Did a Sea Salt Dotty Dye print. I love my other Sea Salt Columbia jackets (fleece and soft shell) but the color of this jacket was a little disappointing. The background is sea salt and the subtle print is beige. Because of this, the jacket looks cream.
