I am keeping a reply short as it is a sick day. Can a grandmother catch croup from a toddler?! But I do so appreciate all the comments.
Smithies, my EF size for most things is xs or petite s, but my broad shoulders seem ok with this large and I think the petite works being shorter, so not overwhelming. That piece is inexpensive enough (75% off) that I wouldn't hesitate to get a different piece if something better comes along, but it is just what I think I needed.
