We have the exact same dress, all three of us, and as Celia says, it could potentially at least look really wonderful with this jacket, although it's possible the reds would not work together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer/page/2#post-697106 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:39:21 +0000 Vicki 697106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any sizing updates from the field? Sextuplets, perhaps? What's a Cassie dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer/page/2#post-697000 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 15:14:08 +0000 celia 697000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you enabler you :)<br /> I love this blazer and will also be waiting for reviews on it.Can you imagine it with our Cassis dress?<br /> Thank you for mentioning this because it had escaped my noticed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer/page/2#post-696642 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 22:00:11 +0000 Astrid 696642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This blazer is so awesome!

However, you're right, in that you can't glean much from the reviews. Keep us posted. It's a lovely find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-696142 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 05:48:57 +0000 tarzy 696142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think pretty much the same size. I don't think it was abnormally small, at least not that I can remember. (It was a few weeks ago.) I'm not an XS, but the S seemed okay, maybe equal to around a 4? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-696066 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 02:48:11 +0000 fern 696066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the reviews on the Nordstrom site says more colors coming.<br /> If green shows up, I'm there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-696004 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 01:18:34 +0000 Suz 696004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh - hoping Tara checks back in... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695977 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:37:07 +0000 Anonymous 695977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tarzy - so for you it would fit the same as what you would normally buy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695973 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:34:39 +0000 tarzy 695973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried that on at Nordies and I loved it. Super flattering. I tried the S and I was surprised it fit. It's a fabulous cut. They only had the black in the store, and I didn't even realize it came in grey. Might have to check it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695814 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:35:07 +0000 Suz 695814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, Donna. That is helpful. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695809 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:31:26 +0000 DonnaF 695809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read the sizing on this jacket: PXS is a 0, PS is a 2-4, and so on. Usually, PXS is 2, and PS is 4-6. Maybe that's why customers said the sizing was off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695795 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:26:49 +0000 DonnaF 695795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe quints. I have a gray &amp; red reversible knit jacket from NAS with a flared bottom, but the tags are still on. . .would only keep one. . .this one is intriguing, but if the arms are tight it's a no-go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695785 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:23:19 +0000 Suz 695785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoo....there might be a few jacket twins. Jacket quintuplets, anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695735 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:46:11 +0000 nancylee 695735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you posted this, Suz. I've been eyeing this jacket for the past week (it's sitting in my Nordstrom basket) and was wondering the same thing about sizing. Love the burgundy color!</p> <p>Will wait for Una's report.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695642 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:56:02 +0000 catgirl 695642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will report back! My store doesn't have petites, but the difference is just an inch according to the site. Can't believe I found a fab find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695638 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:51:45 +0000 Suz 695638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, eagerly awaiting your report! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695635 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:51:13 +0000 Suz 695635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, do you think it would be smart for me to go with petite or regular? And would I go S or xs? </p> <p>My shoulders are actually quite wide (39") but not thick, if you know what I mean, and I have no bust to speak of, a narrow rib cage and slim arms. And I'm short waisted. But I fit perfectly into regular-sized European jackets - French 34 or 36, Italian 38, British 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695593 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:15:44 +0000 Sylvie 695593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shannon said.</p> <p>It's a truly beautiful blazer and I can tell based on Ceit's pirate outfit that it would fit very well into her wardrobe. The burgundy color would look beautiful with Suz's coloring as well.</p> <p>And of course, I want it for myself. Based on the chart, I think I'm going to be in the MP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695591 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:13:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 695591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Know nothing about the sizing, but just have to say that is one GORGEOUS jacket for you Suz (and you too Ceit)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695579 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:57:33 +0000 Anonymous 695579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm. Angie, would I have to size up then to a large? Or do you think a medium would work? I have thin arms and a small bust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695576 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:55:05 +0000 Anonymous 695576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How gorgeous. I have not seen it or tried it on but I can tell by how it fits on the model that it runs small. Nordies blazers usually look huge on the models, have you guys noticed that?</p> <p>I am hesitant on the ruching, if not I would order it myself. So cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695574 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:51:37 +0000 Anonymous 695574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried last years model and thought it ran quite large. The XS was huge on me and got voted down on the forum, so I passed. The Gibson one button blazer fit me well in an XS.</p> <p>I haven't tried this years model. I hope you find one that works since it's a really lovely jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695573 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:50:54 +0000 Angie 695573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had this jacket on a few clients last week. It runs a little small - which is to your advantage, Suz. It's a fab find for next week so you are on the right track </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695569 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:47:20 +0000 Makrame 695569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like the peplum and the burgundy color! Too bad I already have last year's model. :)</p> <p>Personally, I really like the ruched sleeves on last year's blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695547 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:10:33 +0000 Anonymous 695547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, great, Una! I await your report! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695543 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:08:15 +0000 Scarlet 695543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the bunchiness on th gray sleeves is actually a ruching detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695542 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:07:35 +0000 catgirl 695542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be stopping by Nordstrom to try it on today or this weekend. I saw it in the store when I returned something the other day, but didn't realize it had a peplum back. When Ceit's post reminded me of it and I saw the link, I figured I had to go back and give it a whirl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695539 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:59:37 +0000 Suz 695539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, MNSara. I think you may be onto something with your analysis there about the reviewers. </p> <p>I think this one is a knit but I'd better check again. I have a small rib cage and wider shoulders, too, though I'm not an IT and I do have slender arms. Hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-gibson-equestrian-blazer#post-695535 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:54:37 +0000 MNsara 695535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How confusing - two of the three reviews say it runs small. Then the third review says she went down a size. Argh!</p> <p>Maybe the outlier was always wearing too big jackets and this is the first she bought her correct size (with the SAs help)?</p> <p>I can't wear most Gibson jackets because of thier sleeves and my big upper arms and broad backvs. small rib cage. I've only been successful in their knit one. </p>
