I am having a fit over this cape/jacket at f21. It says that the Small is a 36" in the chest. I am 35" at the widest part of my chest. Do you think I should order a M so that I can have a little ease in the chest?

What do you usually wear S or M? Is your Bra 34" or 36"? Forever XI is considered junior fashion, therefore, the patterns are run a bit smaller. I'd still risk S, if you're petite & the jacket is meant to be very fit. Also, look at the waist measurement, see how it's supposed to hug the waist.
P.S. Generally, it's it's a jacket, then the pattern is made in a way that it'd fit as it say 36" in chest, but as a jacket it has a room, since it's meant to be worn over a light top.
I agree with a M. Forever 21 can be all over the board sizing, but I've noticed that their outerwear does run small. For reference, I'm usually a size 4/small in most stores and I have a trench from Forever 21 in a M.
