I'm sorry, joejoe, if you are a small, any size with an "x" after the number will not fit you. A "1X" is, in Misses, Plus or Women's sizes is equivalent to an Extra Large or XL in a standard women's wear or XL ("it's just one more, isn't it?) in men's. In other words, "No, it is not a "small." It is quite large. In it, I would not only look like a bunch of cotton candy, I would feel like some.
