Fit advice: this top is cut a bit more straight than I'm used to. I typically wear an XL and the 1X did fit but I'd personally not wear it with leggings because I'm a happy apple shaped. It is cut longer in the back to help cover a bit more junk in the trunk.
I can't really tell you about this top without telling you a bit about the brand that created it. I fell in love with this brand a couple back when I stumbled upon a lady on Facebook complaining about the lack of cute options that actually fit a plus size body. That complaint isn't really unheard of, but she went beyond just complaining and took her background in marketing and manufacturing to the next step and started Nikki & Alex a small business that designs and manufactures well made clothing for ONY THE PLUS SIZE BODY!!! She is still in the stage of scaling her business up, but every time I see a new style I snatch it up.
