Bought as a gift for a friend, this stylish, light-weight chef's coat was a huge hit! An avid cooking enthusiast, she just beams when she wears it.This is actually one of the best fits I have found in Executive Chef coats for women. It has slight tapering at the waist just enough to make you appear less boxy but still loose enough to make a long work day comfortable.I usually wear pink chef coats when working with clients--it is more my personality and I can add some jazzy chef shoes to make things less boring as well. This is stain resistant and has the tabs on the sleeve for your thermometer, etc.Time for a lighter chef's coat for summer, this is the perfect weight. If you are working around lots of open flame, naturally you will prefer the heavier long-sleeved traditional coat but if you are running a kitchen and/or working large commercial batches in kettles, etc. this is a way better version for summer.Fits just right.Good quality material purple color is deep and exactly what I was wanting. Usually, I wear a small but decied to go with a medium based on other reviews and it is a bit too large. I am about 5' 4", 118 lbs, and wish I had gone with the small. My husband who is 5' 10", 160 lbs, tried it on and it was a bit snug on him. I don't know the size and weight of others who said th small did not fit and was not true to size. Perhaps they actually need to wear a size larger because I am a true small and the medium swims a little bit on me. I am not taking away any stars for other peoples reviews that misled me in ordering the wrong size. I am not going to exchgange it since I bought it to be used as part of a costume.I bought this for a friend that bakes and cooks a lot for her birthday. She loved it! Purple is her favorite color so we were both thrilled with this. She liked the short sleeves too so she won't drag the cuffs through things as she's working. BTW, I was really aggravated by the lack of reviews that addressed how this item fits. I ended up ordering a 2X from the conflicting information I found. I wear a size 1X and this was big on me. She kept it because she said she would rather have it roomier than too tight, but the sizing is true to size for those that you that are wondering. Very nice item!I adore this pink chef coat! ABOUT SIZING: I’m 5’1 and 145lbs. I am small but have gained a little weight so I’m a bit in between size small and medium. I chose to go with a small. I was worried about sizing because some said size up and some said true to size but it fits just as expected. It does fit as you would expect a ladies shirt to, its a slimmer fit so keep that in mind. I have a small chest so I can’t comment on the bust. Very happy with this purchase!! Will buy more in the future.It was exactly how it was presented as I looked at it. Loved the deep colors. Haven’t washed it yet but it seems like it will be greatI’m a petite woman opening multiple businesses, including a gym and a café, in the same downtown commercial building. Whether I’m “Coach Lisa” or “Chef Lisa,” I need to look and feel my best. This chef’s shirt is both practical and flattering; the fit is perfect and I love the color! It seems to be very well made and easy care. I’ll buy more for sure!Breathes well, looks sharp, easy care. Has everything I want in a chef’s coat when I am cooking and serving in my west Texas area (hot) café. I am petite (60 inches) and in my mid fifties (a poorly fitting top can make me look really frumpy). This looks and feels terrific; plenty of nice extras.
