My first thought was: that's the jacket Karie tried the other day!&nbsp;</p> <p>I do like the idea of it. And it might be worth trying the size down. But I think it's right to return this size of jacket, at any rate. (Said by someone for whom a suit has become a HEWI.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122357 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 11:51:38 +0000 Traci 1122357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! Back it goes. That was my first reaction, but then I started second guessing if it had potential.</p> <p>Karie, it IS the jacket from jcp. I think the great deal was swaying me to give it another shot, so I didn't want to bring price into the discussion here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122328 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 09:04:43 +0000 lyn67 1122328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest, Traci, even after those alterations, I would only&nbsp;wear them as separates-as the jacket looks a better length and cut with skirts to my eyes. Happy xmass:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122311 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 07:28:28 +0000 Deborah 1122311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci I would love Angie to chime in here as I am conflicted. I love the idea of this suit but I don't think the fit is good enough. I have seen you wear things that work mush better for you. And I'm not sure I would want to invest in a suit that required a lot of alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122292 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 04:59:22 +0000 Karie 1122292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci, is the blazer from JCP? If it is, I just purchased the exact same one! I'm not sure if I'm keeping mine either, I think it will be difficult to style (what type of shirt to wear under it). I also was drawn to the interesting shape of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122282 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 04:29:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1122282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merry Christmas, Traci!&nbsp; </p> <p>I think the suit looks like it would require extensive alterations. It appears to be a good quality fabric, which is key.&nbsp; I think I'd either like to see you in the jacket with slimmer pants, or a different jacket with these, wider leg pants.&nbsp; Does that make sense?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122262 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 02:57:09 +0000 Gigi 1122262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci, if you don't have a need for a suit yet, I would wait. A suit is so expensive that you really want to feel fantastic in it, like you said. And this one would probably require quite a few alterations, and who knows how it will look when the alts are done?&nbsp;I think you can probably do better if you continue hunting. There's no need to settle just yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122247 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 01:30:08 +0000 Traci 1122247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty certain I will return it. &nbsp;I am considering trying a size down in the jacket, but I don't feel very confident that that is going to fix the fit issue in the shoulders completely. &nbsp;I don't really have a need for a suit, I just really liked this one and thought it was a good time to add a suit to my wardrobe. &nbsp;For a suit to find a place in my closet I'd have to feel really fantastic in it, and this one isn't it.</p> <p>I do feel more like myself in this less classic jacket shape, so that's something to keep in mind for future suits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122201 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 22:15:14 +0000 Sam 1122201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color is really nice on you, and the pants will be perfect once hemmed.</p> <p>I'll concur on the shoulders, though: while they look slightly large to me, I think the problem may be that the armhole is cut too large and low. How well does the jacket move? I find that when I have that issue with armholes, it's hard for me to raise my arms for everyday tasks (even things like typing on a keyboard!)&nbsp;without causing a whole lot of pulling, shifting, bunching, etc. in the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122139 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 18:51:42 +0000 Traci 1122139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been able to figure out how to get a decent back shot. &nbsp;I'll try again later. &nbsp;The shoulder fit is a big ? for me. &nbsp;I think they're too big, but I think it's the whole arm hole fit, not just the shoulder.</p> <p>I could put a little hook in right above the inset so that it could be worn closed, but I'm not sure that I'd ever wear it closed.</p> <p>The pants would need to be hemmed just a bit. &nbsp;I'm curious how it would look if the pants were tapered into a straighter fit and shortened accordingly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122126 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 18:37:42 +0000 Meli 1122126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honest opinion- i prefer jackets that close myself, need pictures of the back of the jacket for fit. The pants are nice but again the back fit is key- more pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122125 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 18:37:19 +0000 MuseumGal 1122125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How does the jacket fit in the shoulders - it looks like the shoulders may be a bit too large?&nbsp; If so, that is not really fixable.&nbsp; If the shoulders fit, then shortening the sleeves and possibly a slight nip at the waist are easy fixes.&nbsp; The pants (other than being too long) do look like they fit well.&nbsp; I'd like to see it with the type of type of top you plan to wear it with for a better idea overall.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-suit-kr#post-1122119 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 18:28:58 +0000 Traci 1122119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm withholding comment because my opinion keeps changing anyway. I believe it will erd alterations of I choose to keep it, but wanted to show it as is. These are my highest wearable shoes.</p> <p>Honest opinions? Not including my Christmas morning hair and face:) </p>
