This is about as close to an illusion of a waistline as I'm ever going to get in anything I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375856 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:06:39 +0000 Mellllls 375856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for a jacket like that, i don't see why you must buy one that you can button. however, going against the consensus, i dont like this jacket on you at all. it gives you no waist definition. is this the larger or smaller size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375855 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:01:32 +0000 Aida 375855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jonsey and Tarzy said, and another Yay vote from me!

Most of mine don't button, and that's fine because I would not wear them that way. I say go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375801 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 20:19:22 +0000 catgirl 375801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great question. I rarely find jackets that fit both my wide shoulders and the rest of me. However, it irritates me not be able to button in theory. I always wonder if people think I wear my clothes too small (do they?).</p> <p>If you really know you'll never feel the need to button, then go for it! It's really nice on you. And seeing you in this color makes me think you'll do fine with the heather grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375790 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 20:07:37 +0000 yellowgirl 375790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375786 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 20:04:11 +0000 Anonymous 375786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really cute on you.

It's very cute!

I remember a thread a while back about this question...people had varying opinions. To me, this jacket looks like it fits you perfectly, and the buttons almost look decorative, so I wouldn't worry in the slightest about buttoning it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375762 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:04:42 +0000 Queen Mum 375762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep and don't pay attention to that rule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375758 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:01:46 +0000 modgrl 375758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cilleena, I like jackets to be very fitted to give me the illusion of a waistline. Sometimes I have to look in the juniors section because even petites are cut too long for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375749 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:55:31 +0000 Cilleena 375749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I think it looks great on you! I wouldn't worry about buttoning it. Seeing how cute it looks on you makes me realize that I buy my jackets MUCH too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375748 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:54:17 +0000 kitty400 375748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Mo in fact I do the same thing there are times when I have gotten a jacket that fits in the shoulders but will not button I still got the jacket and I'm glad that I did too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375745 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:50:49 +0000 modgrl 375745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is the jacket, although they don't have it in white online</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/5-button-cotton-jacket-37875-32/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/5-butto...../index.pro</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttoning-a-jacket#post-375735 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:44:32 +0000 Mo 375735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no reason there has to be a rule that you can button a jacket if you never intend to!
