Eileen Fisher Women's Quilted Sleeveless Vest

I fell in love with the color! But the fit is nothing like the 2 that I already own. Such a disappointment. EF has cut out the side panels of the older models, making the fit much tighter through the body, and not nearly so elegant. Cost cutting? I am returning.

WHY is this so expensive? This nylon and polyester vest costs as much as wool or cashmere items right here on this website. Further, although I can't replicate the beautiful blue-green color elsewhere, I can purchase an almost identical vest for one-tenth the price of this vest. This makes no sense. What is going on?!

I bought this in Cobblestone from Nordstrom in XL, my most common size in tops. It does run small, but more significant, it is cut differently, narrower, rather than "wider at the hem". I don't think I will try the next size. Also, Cobblestone has a bit of green in it, similar to Wren, but lighter. I have been seeing reviews saying tops are cut like an inverted triangle, and this was my experience with the long sleeve bateau neck striped top. Sizing down solved the problem, but I hope the good fit many of us rely on isn't going away.

Two things Eileen fisher should address: orders ALWAYS arrive wrinkled-badly. Secondly, no consistency in sizing. I worked For Saks Fifth Ave And Nordstrom and, customers always had size issues. This is overpriced but I wanted color. This should be priced at $179 or so. Most Eileen is Spendy but they capitalize on women who don’t have larger size options and have no place else for semi-luxury.
