This top stretches but fits loosely. I wear a 2x. Love it! Bought a long skirt from Macys with sequins on it (just a few) and can't wait to wear the two together. BUT, what a way to dress up jeans! Or simply wear with a pair of dressier black slacks or cream ones and add some pearls. Wow!

Nice top. Has a considerable amount of stretch to the material. I wear a 22/24 and purchased a 3X and it fits rather large. If you want a more snug fit, as pictured, I would go a size down. But if you have more weight in the top or mid-section, it may be just right. It's also more grey in color than taupe like it appears in the picture. Not sure if I will keep it or exchange for a 2X.
