Marmot Women's Lea Short Sleeve Tee

Frustrating Purchase
July 28, 2011

I so wanted this top to fit! Ordered in Mars Orange, the top is just as cute as can be and the color is beautiful! Loved the little pocket on the back right hip. Unfortunately, the actual size does not follow their size chart at all. I am not quite 5’2”, weigh 101 lbs and my bust measurement is 33-1/2”. According to their size chart, a size small fits 5’2”-5’6”, 90-110 lbs, bust measurment 32-34”. The top fit perfectly through the body but was to tight around the shoulder/armpit area. Which was strange because I usually have the opposite problem with tops. I’m a very small person with kind of a thick waist and I wear an extra small if I want the top to fit in the shoulders or a small if the top is very slim fitting (then it fits in the body and is a little big in the shoulders). I think I am going to exchange it for a medium because it is so cute but I just feel like it's going to be too loose in the body and too long. Very disappointing. They make you check either yes or no in answer to in answer to whether or not you would recommend this product. I wasn't sure which box to check cuz it's such a cute top and it's made really well but it's just sized so weird. I'm sure it will fit some lucky person who is built just right for it: tall, thin, with really, really small shoulders. I recommend ordering 2 sizes larger than your normal size.
