I don't know about you, but I want it (in brown)! Not very helpful I know...

32 inches from the shoulder. You could work it out with a tape measure and save yourself the hassle of returning

Its lovely but in the picture with the model the stictching on the seams looks a bit puckered. You'll have to wait to see it to know what its like.

It does look really nice but I would be worried that it was too short.

Well it arrived and it's lovely, not too short. But it's WAY too big.

I'm usually a 10, sometimes a 12 but ordered it in a 12 as I have a wide rib cage and issues with dresses doing up at the back. It's massive so going back, I would exchange it but I'm not totally sold on the colour. It's more of a green than the navy it looked to me in the picture.

Lovely quality though and very soft :)

I also bought it!
Unfortunately it's going back too. It did fit, but the arms gaped a lot so you got a great view of my bra.

Real shame as otherwise it was fine.
