"I purchased this in one of the FP stores. I thought the skirt was cute, and did purchase the jumper, but I did so knowing that I would have to seriously take in the straps. They are crazy long, and not even a little adjustable. There are 2 buttons and two holes, You get at most 2 strap lengths. (With only about an inch variation in length.) A bit inflexible. The jumper was low enough in price that I didn't mind making the alteration. I'm 5'2", I bet for anyone over 5'5" this will not be so big an issue. The skirt is longer on me that the model... I might have it taken in a couple of inches. It fits a bit loose, I'd say if you are in between, go down, but I wouldn't size down a full size. It's really cute with the studded cuff thermal. If you plan on wearing a thicker material, and are in between sizes, you might actually want to go with the up size."
