I'm usually a 34 or 36.</p> <p>Well, let's wait till you get your package and we'll discuss. I think we both got so caught up in chatting that we forgot the original point of you emailing me, which was to get your address! I will send it out ASAP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79626 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:17:23 +0000 Inge 79626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a European size 40 Maya, but on the smaller side + it's one of those blousy tops that's supposed to be worn a little looser. I'll try to take pictures tomorrow, it's getting dark here now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79378 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:34:53 +0000 Maya 79378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think those items are going to be too big or long, and olive is not the greatest color for me. The Zara blouse sounds interesting. What size is it? Can I get a pic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79351 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:54:50 +0000 Inge 79351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for measuring Maya! I just measured my old denim jacket and the measurements are about the same (the arms on yours are a little shorter, but I could always wear it with rolled up sleeves). I could probably button it, but I agree that it looks better unbuttoned anyway. So let's give it a try. I'll send you an email in a minute.</p> <p>I went through my closet and found the following, not sure if these will fit your tiny frame:<br /> - army green shorts, Esprit, size 38, they measure about 16.90" from top to bottom hem<br /> - a taupish olive green silk dress, short sleeves, size small, bust about 18.5", lenght from shoulder seam to hem about 40.5"<br /> - a silk blouse, white background with tealish blue large print, Zara, it's a little boho-looking for me, bust about 18.5" inch</p> <p>If any of these sound interesting I can take additional measurements and post pictures too.<br /> I'd send you a batch of home-made waffles in a heartbeat, but fear they might be a bit stale by the time they arrive;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79341 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:15:34 +0000 Maya 79341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Measurements:</p> <p>Sleeve (taken from the shoulder seam): 24"<br /> Bust (armpit to armpit): 18"<br /> Arm hole (laid flat, going along the curve of the seam with a measuring tape): 10"<br /> Length: From shoulder seam to hem: 20"</p> <p>If the bust is a bit too small, I wouldn't worry too much, since it seems meant to be worn open. I also found the arm holes to be quite big and roomy on me (I have pretty skinny arms though). </p> <p>Inge, you have my email address so if you conclude that it might just fit, remind me of your mailing address and I will send it out to you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79292 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:19:17 +0000 Maya 79292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, I will take measurements later to see if it will work. Keep in mind that it's the kind of jacket that should really be worn open (it's a pain to button it and it looks better unbuttoned anyway, I think), so if it's a little tight in the chest, that's okay. Hopefully it will fit in the arms and shoulders though. </p> <p>Something from Belgium! Hmm. I guess waffles won't keep well in the mail...</p> <p>Well, we'll get to that when the time comes I suppose </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79262 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:01:40 +0000 Angie 79262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too long for Julie. Sorry :0(</p> <p>Inge gets my vote. Even if you just wear it over sleeveless tops and dresses. Let the swapping begin. </p> <p>Vani, the heels help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79196 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:15:51 +0000 Inge 79196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Maya</p> <p>I just read on your other thread that Angie thinks this might work for me. I'd love to take it off your hands, not entirely sure it will fit though (I do wear a medium usually).</p> <p>Angie: do you really think I can squeeze myself into this? I definitely bought my last denim jacket too big. Since finding YLF I've learned that it's supposed to be a slimmer fit to get the cheeky effect.<br /> I'm willing to give it a try;-) If it doesn't fit I could always put it up for swap again/resell it.</p> <p>I'll have a look in my wardrobe later today Maya. If I don't find anything fun for you, I'll pay for the shipping costs. Or is there anything you want from Belgium? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79178 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:29:27 +0000 Vani 79178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Angie, really?! Could it be the 4" wedge heels I wear a lot Atleast now everybody will have a better picture of how I really look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79176 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:27:01 +0000 julijuli 79176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks super cute but I think it would also be too long on me and I'm 5'3 1/2"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79163 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:54:23 +0000 Maya 79163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I thought you were around Angie's height too. I think we are actually about the same. I say I am 5'2, but truth be told, I am 5'1 and 3/4 :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79160 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:48:23 +0000 Angie 79160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Vani. I thought you were my height! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79159 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:45:13 +0000 Vani 79159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, yup, I am just under 5'2" I have been trying to maintain scale in my pictures lately - I need to stop cropping off everything around me and then you'll see </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79154 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:38:20 +0000 Maya 79154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are shorter than me Niva? Really? You look average height in your pictures. I guess that is a good thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79151 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:37:05 +0000 Vani 79151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I would take it off your hands in a jiffy were it not for the fact that I am shorter and bigger than you I hope someone will want it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-try-my-failed-denim-jacket#post-79110 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 02:41:33 +0000 Maya 79110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just thought I would ask before I donate it:</p> <p>I bought it on ebay but it is is too long all over for me. It's a size small, by Mavi jeans. The seaming and shape is nice but I'm too short and short-waisted for it. I think it would probably look good on a taller person or someone with a longer torso. The overall length is around 20" (11" from under the arm).</p> <p>On the mannequin:</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/jacket.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....jacket.jpg</a></p> <p>On me (probably not the most flattering example):</p> <p> <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_1899.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_1899.jpg</a></p> <p>If you can't do a straight swap, all I would ask for is the shipping cost. </p>
