Maybe not having them is why blazers are usually uncomfortable for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-praise-of-action-pleats#post-857391 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 01:00:19 +0000 Tanya 857391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not know that is what it is called, but how nice that you now know what type of jackets/design elements work the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-praise-of-action-pleats#post-857361 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 00:42:28 +0000 Beth Ann 857361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know this is called an action pleat, but I'm all for it! I'm square shouldered and wide across the back, regardless of my weight -- I'll be watching for these.</p> <p>Looks like a trim, but comfy fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-praise-of-action-pleats#post-857358 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 00:38:29 +0000 anne 857358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you, like me, are troubled with fit problems because your shoulders are square and fitting them can make a garment not fit in the torso, let me demonstrate the action pleat. I am so pleased with this design feature in a jacket i bought last year.</p> <p>Not sure how visible they are, but the two pleats run vertically between the yoke and the waist section on the back </p>
