Chanel Classic Flap - Small vs Medium vs Large sizes

Jumbo w/ghw! I have this combo and it is a showstopper! I also have a m/l flap in another color and wish I got it in jumbo instead as I find the size impractical for use as anything other than an evening bag.
 
Went to the Chanel boutique yesterday and tried on a jumbo. I love how much you can fit into it but I thought it looked quite big on me( I'm 5ft tall, 100 lbs).

My question is what are the dementions of a large flap vs a jumbo? Also maybe the jumbo didn't look as big on me as I thought? Any opinions are welcome :)

TIA!

i had the medium in black caviar with silver hardware, but i hated i couldn't keep my normal wallet and eyeglass case in it. So i ended up selling it on ebay and getting a grey lambskin jumbo and i'm so happy with it! way better size. my hubby told me not to get the medium and he was right.

now I want a maxi too! urgh!
 
I got the ML black caviar SHW - the Jumbo looked too big on me, even the SA was shaking his head. I decided to be selective on what I put in my bag - I hate carrying too much in general.

ML is a very adorable classy cute size :)
 
I'm on the verge of purchasing a small black caviar w/SHW and just want to make sure this will be okay for my height. Should I go ahead with it or go for the medium? This is my first classic!!

I think you should go for the medium. The medium is only 1 inch longer, half inch taller and half inch wider so hardly a difference and the medium is the ultimate classic imho.
 
I prefer the medium instead. It's the classic size that's perfect for petites, more versatile, & has better resale value (NOT a good reason but just something for you to think about). But this doesn't mean that the small wouldn't work for you. It would do the job just as well.
 
I'm the same height and have the medium but I'm actually looking to get a jumbo! Don't get me wrong I ADORE my medium I just want to be able to carry more items. I guess my point is don't get the small.
