I normally don't write reviews but I know how hard it can be to pick out sizes. I wanted to give my fit for your information when choosing a size. I am 5' 3" 110 lbs with a very small chest. I ordered a misses small. The sleeves are perfect. I like the fit but it is a little loose so keep that in mind if you want it to be tighter. It's definitely bigger than I expected but it doesn't look baggy. As far as thickness, it is pretty thin so I wear it more as an indoor additional layer. If you are looking for something to keep you warm on cooler days I would go with a thicker one.
I ordered a petite medium and am pleased with the fit. The sleeves and length are a perfect fit for someone 5'2". It is very light--not a warm jacket at all--just to take a chill off, I guess. But, it is comfortable, and very soft. (Does not seem very fleece-like, but rather a "fuzzy" fabric.) It's the perfect thing for a warmer evening. The color is a beautiful pale peach.
Just wore this on a two week vacation to Central America. It was a perfect jacket for cooler evenings and as a travel layer on the airplane. Not at all bulky and easy to pack. Petite sizing is right on. I will be using these on future trips and only wish there were more color choices like brown, red and dark green. I am not a pastel person at all. Also washes well with other fleece.
Great lightweight fleece for layering, indoor wear

Some people have complained in these reviews that this jacket is cheap & flimsy, so they give it a bad review. There are different weights for fleece so you can wear it in different circumstances! None of this should be a surprise since LLB describes it accurately. This is "Fitness" fleece which is one of their lightest weight fleeces (presumably you could be active in it outdoors without getting overheated). It is also perfect for layering and wearing indoors where a heavy fleece would be too hot. If you want a heavier fleece, order "Comfort" or "Trail Model" fleece or one of the other fleeces that are heavier weight. The lighter weight of this fleece is intentional and much appreciated. I have several of these and they wash and wear very well over time (they are not flimsy).
