That had never crossed my mind. It seems subtle, but it turns out to be very important.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-of-shrunken-jacket#post-1030516 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 01:11:18 +0000 Suz 1030516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right. Isabel -- for comparison -- in my Dressmeister post, I consider my denim jackets (which are a bit boxy) to be "cropped." But the fuchsia knit blazer is "shrunken."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-of-shrunken-jacket#post-1030477 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 00:19:37 +0000 Angie 1030477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo what Suz and Diana said. Shrunken jackets are also very fitted. Not boxy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-of-shrunken-jacket#post-1030395 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:36:07 +0000 unfrumped 1030395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I think of shrunken and cropped as sometimes 2 different descriptors . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-of-shrunken-jacket#post-1030364 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:56:23 +0000 Diana 1030364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on your height and length of your waist. My AE jackets are 19-20" (for some reason the blue is an inch shorter) and they are past my waist. The same jacket looks shrunken on long waisted people like Tanya, for example. Me, I'd need it to be like 16" to look shrunken. Generally I think a cropped, above waist length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-of-shrunken-jacket#post-1030347 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:45:22 +0000 Marley 1030347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've wondered the same thing Isabel - so I'm glad that you've asked this question! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-of-shrunken-jacket#post-1030344 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:42:39 +0000 Suz 1030344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, mine are both 17" from shoulder neck point to hem.&nbsp;</p> <p>For reference, I'm 5'4 and short-waisted. So I need it shorter or else it won't seem cropped on me. I bought one of mine at the Bay in the adult department and the white one comes from Old Navy kids' department.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-of-shrunken-jacket#post-1030319 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:16:14 +0000 Isabel 1030319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is "shrunken" ? &nbsp;Is it about 20 inches, shorter , longer ? &nbsp;I want a shrunken denim jacket and I want to search on line, but the lengths confuse me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie or anyone. &nbsp;Thank you ! </p>
