I usually wear a size medium in Novica sizing. This S/M that I purchased is a perfect fit. I washed it on the gentle cycle without using the spin cycle, then air dried it. The colorful design is beautiful.
I just love these journals. I bought them for graduation gifts and kept one for myself. They are beautifully made--inside and out. They are delicate and sophisticated, also very light weight for travel. The handmade paper is great for writing or drawing.
