Review on Get A Perfectly Professional Look With Marycrafts Women'S Formal Business Suit Set by Derrick Lowell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Yes, the jacket is much too small and too long

Well. The review rumors were correct. This is very strangely sized. I'm 5'1" and 114 pounds. I ordered size 0 in gray.The jacket is much too small to button shut but the skirt isn't too tight. I have a small rib cage and small chest .most outfits are way too loose on me in this area, so something is definitely not right. The jacket is very long through the torso and the shoulders are too wide for my frame. However, the sleeves were very tight, and just barely long enough.and I have short arms.The skirt is long. Really long. It wasn't too tight. I could have made it work by pulling it up in a very high-waisted style. Or I could have hemmed it. But the jacket isn't even close to buttoning shut. I would try a larger size, but I think this is just going to be even longer in the torso and skirt.I love the material this is made from. It's a thick, synthetic stretch material -- heavy, and with a nice matte surface texture. The threads are slightly varied for depth. The construction is also gorgeous. The jacket is lined everywhere but the sleeves. I love the style of the collar, and everything looks sharp and neatly sewn.The buttons on the jacket are fabric covered and a good size -- not huge and clunky, and not so small that they look silly.The skirt has a nice waistband and a clean back zipper. Well-made.I'm super bummed this didn't fit.If I had suggestions (other than the fit), I would recommend adding pockets to the jacket and end the sleeves more elegantly. the machined edge is cheap looking compared to the rest of the construction.UPDATE: I reordered this in size 2. Unfortunately, it was also much too tight, and one of the buttons came off in my hand as I was trying it on. Alas.

Pros
  • The suit set is perfect for women who value comfort as well as style, thanks to its breathable fabric and comfortable fit
Cons
  • May not accommodate changes in body shape or size

I needed a suit for a funeral, and bought this for the price. Very happy with the quality and the lined jacket. Also packed well and laundered well (wash cold, gentle cycle, line dry) Will wear to work in the future.
