I tend to prefer the sleeves on my full sleeve jackets a bit long so it looks perfect to me. How do you feel when you wear it April? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-about-this-jacket#post-65761 Sun, 17 May 2009 10:09:50 +0000 April 65761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oneirix, you've got it -- my shoulders are wider than hips. If you lay a ruler straight across my shoulders and then hips, shoulder measurement is 25% wider.</p> <p>I will definitely get the sleeves taken up. What about the waist -- does it look boxy, or is the shape more in the realm of "boyfriend"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-about-this-jacket#post-65759 Sun, 17 May 2009 08:00:19 +0000 Ele 65759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this jacket, April. The colour and cut are excellent- very sharp. If you can, I'd shorten the sleeves a touch, the like others have mentioned. The shoulder pads don't bother me at all. They're coming back, so I think this jacket just looks slightly directional. Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-about-this-jacket#post-65757 Sun, 17 May 2009 06:43:27 +0000 Oneirix 65757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the sleeves look too long, but the jacket overall is very sharp! I like it. The shoulders look okay, but they do change your proportion; your shoulders look larger than your hips (but now I guess you just look like me! :P). Just something to be aware of, you can probably go either way with the pads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-about-this-jacket#post-65742 Sun, 17 May 2009 00:55:11 +0000 sinead 65742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep- sleeves definitely look too long. Cute jacket- if the shoulders bother you (I think it looks ok) I read that sometimes you can change out shoulder pads in an outfit pretty easily. Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-about-this-jacket#post-65716 Sat, 16 May 2009 19:29:01 +0000 Chris 65716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shoulders are ok - you can best judge that - but sleeves look a bit long. Nice friend to pass it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-about-this-jacket#post-65706 Sat, 16 May 2009 17:49:03 +0000 April 65706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a Zara jacket that was given to me new by someone who misjudged her size. It has lightly padded shoulders, which I found a little startling, but when I look at this picture the shoulders look okay to me.</p> <p>Should I hold onto this? Does it need to be altered?</p> <p><a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Jackets%20Round%202/IMG_0153.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0153.jpg</a> </p>
