This red blouse is very pretty but I should have bought an XL, I had to put a slit at the side for a better fit, haven't tried it on since I did that so I don't know if I need to.put another. The arm area is snug for my arms, not sure if I would wear it to work as it is slightly just above my hips. I am not a seamstress but I do what I can to make my clothes comfortable. Get the blouse it is very cute.
