Seller sent an offer of 33% off, I am now the proud owner of a bright pink jacket that may or may not fit :confused:

Welcome to the wonderful world of buying clothing online! It sucks, and nothing ever fits, but when it works... it's so not worth the cost.

Hopefully you're wrong, I'm pretty normal size and shape so usually a chest measurement is enough to buy a top but that's mens clothes.
Worst case it was <$20 shipped so I can probably dye it black and sell it on for a profit, or just hold it until Winter when a girl wants to wear long sleeves.

Real, real talk..
Even women can't trust the measurements.
A size 4 from one manufacturer is a size 12 for another, even when they offer specific measurements they can be off quite a lot, and that's before you add in Chinese fake sizes.

I seldom buy clothes online but I found a couple of great T-shirts on ebay from China. I am a big guy and usually buy 2XL but an XL can fit if it is a generous cut.
My orders were for a 2XL and a 3XL (the largest that they offered) but when they arrived they were way too small. I could manage to get them on, but they were both far tighter than is comfortable to me.
