Melrose Short Sleeve Jacket

Cropped Short Sleeve Blazer

So far, Astr seems to fit pretty true to size for me per their size chart breakdown, so I was bummed when my size wasn't in stock. I had purchased the matching shorts and loved them. On a whim, I thought I'd try this in a size down. In Astr, I've been an XL, but in other brands I can sometimes wear a M-L in tops. And I am pleasantly surprised that a L has worked in this! It fits perfectly in the shoulders. But bust pops open *ever so slightly* in a way that most blazers would. And the bottom front corners pop open a bit when buttoned, rather than sitting flat like in the model. But personally I don't mind. It looks like it's working with my curves rather than not fitting. And it looks great with the button undone. I think with this piece, and XL would have been too large in the shoulders and armpits. Happy I tried it!
