Review on LookbookStore Womens Notched Lapel Pockets Button Work Office Blazer Jacket Suit: Perfect For The Professional Look! by Cristina Gonzalez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

High Quality Blazer

Me: I am 5'10, 200 pounds, 36DDD. I generally wear a size 14 dress.Sizing: After reading many reviews, it seemed that many said it ran very large & others said it ran very small.I also measured the width of my shoulders & compared to the chart. so I decided to go with what I normally wear for a top. XL. I feel like it is a little large on me. The shoulder seams come about a half inch past my shoulder. The other reason I feel like it's too big is the waist. I'm not sure if it's just not a tailored kind of fit or if it's just too big for me. The sleeves seem to be of appropriate length, which isn't common for tall women.Quality: I am very impressed with the quality of this blazer. I have a suit from The Limited which was rather expensive but the jacket is just too tight to be comfortable, hence my purchase. I would say this blazer isn't quite of the same quality of The Limited Suit (Black Collection) but it really isn't far off. The material is very nice considering the price! The lining is nice & silky smooth. The seams of the jacket all seem to be in tight tact. No loose seams in sight.Surprise: THE POCKETS ARE REAL! I cannot believe the pockets are real! You ladies know what I'm talking about. Even my Limited suit jacket has fake pockets! & that's an $80 jacket! I can't believe this jacket has real pockets. I'm blown away. What a nice surprise that was for me. It's the little things in life.OVERALL: I really like the jacket. I'm very impressed with the overall quality. I feel like it's too large on me, felt like I looked frumpy & not a fine tailored professional. Think I'll exchange for a Large & hope that fixes the fit problem I have. Although, I'm afraid the sleeves may be too short & my chest may be too large to button the L. The quality of the jacket makes me think these are things that could be fixed by a seamstress. I may look into the cost of a seamstress before exchanging. This jacket will be perfect for an upcoming interview I have scheduled!
