I went back and forth a million times trying to figure out what size to get. I got a 2X and so glad I did. I’m 5’11, 240, not hippy, busty or super blessed in the back. I’m normally a 1x in FN depending the material. It does ride up a bit in the back but sizing up gave me a little more give than I would have if I purchased a 1x. I would recommend ladies that are on the shorter end and are who are not super curvy to stick to their regular size. As far as taking it off, just lean one shoulder down, pull your arm in and out the front. Material is smooth and slightly thicker than I expected. I’m glad it worked, cause I would’ve been salty because I’m not not able to return this one.
