This piece makes me happy just looking at it. The pattern, style, and fit is all very much worth it. If you buy this, you should look into pairing it with bottoms (ie. high-waisted pants, skirts) with a similar design. I have a bigger chest and bought it in a large, and so I find myself having to readjust it regularly however. I can certainly breathe just fine in it, but I do have to ultimately worry about readjusting it.
