When Merrill says that "this apparel item runs small" on their site, boy, do they mean it! I ordered their largest size of the 3/4 sleeve blouse, and it barely fits. I usually wear an 18/20, and ordered a 3X from them. The bust and shoulders fit okay, but the hips are not proportioned right at all. If it shrinks any more, I'll have to unbutton the bottom button and tuck it into my pants just to make it look right. I don't consider myself to have large hips either... if anything, it's usually the bust that doesn't fit on shirts.
Just a fair warning for anyone considering this shirt... buy 2 sizes larger than you normally would!
