Didn't Quite Work
I knew from the previous reviews that buying this vest would be a risk because of it's design and sadly, it didn't work and I will have to return it. It is great quality and out of the box looked promising, however, after I tried it on it just looked odd. The extra flaps and wide arm holes and looseness of it just made it unwearable. I tried to wear a belt and I was willing to tack it down and make it more fitted, but it really is an odd design and I'm sure looks great on some body type, it's just not mine. I'm usually a size 6 or 8 and I got the medium, perhaps the small would work but I'll just try another vest.

What's with the Flaps?
I loved the quality of the fabric. Unfortunately, the size ran larger. I don't know what the design had flaps. It could have done without it. Returning the vest.

Trendsetter
Not your usual silhouette for a basic black vest, the geometric style really grew on me. It's difficult to notice the unique fit on the manniquin, so I was surprised when I tried it on.
My petite figure and short-waistedness made me want to play it safe and pick ensembles that create an hourglass shape - but was getting bored with belting everything and/or cinched/ruched waistlines. This is a great alternative. Above the tight fit of the natural waist, the vest sort of flares out, making it an ideal pairing with skinny jeans that can make me look too pear-shaped.
I also like how the side vents are so deep, so you can show off pretty under-arm detailing, like a pretty lace camisole. I wear it with skinny black pants, a lace camisole, and impossibly high peep-toe booties. In the later spring I plan to wear it with wide-leg white linen trousers and a breezy black and white sleeveless deep-V top.

Not flattering!
This is the most bizarre fitting vest. I don't think it would look good on any body type. There are two pannels on each side that stick out so it doesn't show off your shape at all and you can't see them in the picture. The material is such a high quality that it's disapointing it's such a poor design.

Odd Panels
I loved the quality of the material of this vest, but was confounded by the "flyout" panels on the front of each side, which are not at all visible in the photograph. They are the strangest design element. The only way to describe it is that it reminds me of nursing/maternity tops. It completely disfigured the lean lines of the vest. Yuck, and no thanks. Plus, it was much larger than other items produced by BCBGMAXAZRIA, which is a brand I adore. I am usually a perfect medium, or size 8, but this vest hung on my frame.
