Please read the reviews and the size chart.

This was ordered for an African themed wedding. It is just unbelievable how pretty this jacket/coat is! The colors are amazing. I also ordered the skirt and a T-shirt as part of my attire. The only problem for me was the chest area was a tad bit too tight. There are no buttons so it was left open which was a positive for me. I ordered a 4x but I am heavy in that area and the sizes are not American sizes so that's why I urge everyone to read the reviews and the size chart. Also I am 5'2" and the

Pros
  • Liked colors and length, just did not fit like an xl. Used it to wear for black history day at work
Cons
  • Limited range of sizes available

Beautiful, versatile jacket

A beautiful, well-made and well-structured West-African print jacket. I was expecting the fabric to be more authentic waxy African cloth, but this was a little lighter. It was way better quality than I expected, though. It was not that cheap printed fabric, so I was happy with that. I received tons of compliments and requests to know where I bought it. It arrived sooner than expected. The fit was good but a little too big in the arms and waist. That’s probably because I ordered a size large…

Pros
  • I wore a simple black sleeveless dress with coat, it looked great.
Cons
  • Unable to take a pic did not fit

Beautiful but arrived dirty

Item was as expected and very vibrant in color.love it! But it arrived with grease streaks. Will be exchanging. May be seen as cultural appropriation by some individuals!

Pros
  • Order next size up
Cons
  • May be seen as cultural appropriation by some individuals

Beautiful but too tight

The top jacket is amazingly awesome; however, way too small cut for a plus size.It makes me sad that it is too tight to wear because I love it.

Pros
  • Love the print and fabric. Glad I bought a size too large. Plan to wear as a jacket over dress or slacks
Cons
  • I like the jacket very much but the material was cheap. The arms were tighter than I expected.

African coat good for me

I order two sizes larger then what I wear and it was still snug. Good it was an open jacket. The colors and fabric and style was great .

Pros
  • Adds personality and character to any outfit
Cons
  • May not be easy to find matching clothing items

The garment looks very beautiful, but not properly lined.

The garment looks very beautiful, however, the fit is too small. There is not enough seams to make alterations. The outfit should be lined in order to make it hold its shape.

Pros
  • Unique and perfect for standing out in a crowd
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all footwear styles

Pros
  • Perfect for a traditional and modern look
Cons
  • May be too busy for some individuals

Beautiful colors in my review

I give this product a 5 stars for the beautiful of colors ONLY. I purchased two different designs and not pleased. This garment material is definitely not good quality. Their 4X is a Small. Was disappointed

Pros

Cons
  • May require ironing or steaming before wear

Gorgeous, but super tiny

We had an event for Black History Month. This was perfect, the folds and stitching well done. I normally wear an XL, sometimes a L if its a bit stretchy and I want a bodycon fit. I ordered this in a 3X. It would not close! I could get my arms in it by lifting my arm over my head. I wore it with a cami and linen slacks. Looked great.

Pros
  • Ideal for layering with other clothing items
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all weather conditions

Decent product on my review.

Largely it came as advertised on-line. Gave it a 4/5 because the medium is slightly tight around the arms. Overall look forward to dressing up during summer months.

Pros
  • Vibrant and eye-catching African print design
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all makeup styles

Order at your own risk!

I ordered 2 of the same dress one in 3x and noticed it was 4XL marked out. IT WAS TOO big. Then the other I ordered a 2XL once again they sent me a 4XL with a marked out Tag covering the size. Why would you do that? A waste of my time! I have an important event to attend and now it is ruined.

Pros
  • Perfect for expressing your individuality and creativity
Cons
  • May require special skills to style and accessorize

Fabric Light weight and limp.

WIll made, designs on fabric matched very well. However, the weight of the fabric is not heavy enough for the silhouettette. The duster is unlined and limp. Linniing would have made the fabric hang better. Fabric more suited for a dress. I gave this 2* based on the pattern matching, well done. Otherwise, the garment was a disappointment. I returned it.

Pros
  • Versatile for both casual and formal events
Cons
  • May not suit all skin types

Two sizes too small

Updated review:We received so many compliments on our outfits. We were very pleased with the outcome.I purchased this with a few friends to be dressed alike and worn during a conference presentation. They are very light weight, vibrantly colored but sizing is very OFF. WE all ordered according to the measurements and they’re all too small. We returned and re-ordered. I’ll be sure to leave a review on the replacement order.

Pros
  • Runs really small. I had to resend and reorder.
Cons
  • May not have enough variety in design options

Runs VERY, VERY Small

The colors and pattern are beautiful, but the size is a major concern. Under normal circumstances, I would have ordered a size large. However, because of so many reviews about how it runs small, I ordered a size 1X. Believe it or not, even THAT was too small, especially at the chest. Much to my regret, I had to return it.

Pros
  • Attractive and attractive design that is sure to turn heads
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all personal preferences

Disappointed on my review.

I ordered a 3xl. this jacket runs extremely small. The colors are fabulous. just wish it was true to size. May not match personal fashion style!

Pros
  • Couldn’t fit me well as a size medium person, had to give it to my size small sister.
Cons
  • May not match personal fashion style

So beautiful: my feedback

I loved it. I almost didn't purchase it from reading the reviews. I wear 18w and some 20w and 2X my arms are big. They stop me sometime from purchasing because of my arms. So I purchased the 4x and my arms wasn't tight I had room. I received so many compliments. This was our Black History church service. I'm so glad to purchased this outfix

Pros
  • Easy to care for with simple washing instructions
Cons
  • May be difficult to pack or travel with

If it’s available buy it

I love the print of the top , l would love to wear it over one of my dresses but it’s too small it’s a perfect top for Black history month.

Pros
  • I really like the print and the fabric, but the arms are a little tight. Definitley size up.
Cons
  • May fade after multiple washes

Simply Gorgeous! - my new review

The colors on this jacket are vibrant & fun! I normally wear an XL but ordered a XXL based on the reviews. The arm area was a little snug & the material is thin but it’s summertime. I wore this Saturday to a wedding.& got loads of compliments Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Pros
  • Beautiful but the upper sleeve was too small for me so sadly had to return.
Cons
  • May not suit all body types

Runs small in my review

The jacket looked exactly like the picture. However it does run small and there is no stretch in the fabric. I wear a 16 and bought a 2Xl. One size up would have been perfect.

Pros
  • Need to order a size larger
Cons
  • May require additional layering for colder temperatures

I love this jacket, the only thing is it runs small, a 4XL is more like a large. I wear a 16 so my normal size is XL. I'm keeping it since I plan to wear a dress underneath, but sizing needs to be fixed, that's the only reason for 4 stars and not 5.UPDATE.I have now ordered all three colors and each one is beautiful, but again they all run small so instead of an XL I had to get a 4XL. I wish they sold the matching scarf with the dress, I have spent countless hours trying to find the matching…

Pros
  • I like I’ve jackets
Cons
  • May not be versatile for multiple occasions
