I'll keep that in mind when I look for the black jacket I wanted. Maybe I'll give the white one to my sister. Her waist is as small as mine, but she has quite a bit more on top to fill the jacet out. Or perhaps I'll keep it and wear it open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-gapping#post-475 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 21:32:35 +0000 Angie 475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is often the problem with one button jackets if don't have enough to fill out on top. Opt for a higher stance in future and resort to 2-3 button jackets. Either take the jacket back or leave it open to prevent it from gapping. Adding a hook and eye is not the best idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-gapping#post-455 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:52:17 +0000 Sarah 455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been wanting a nice, classy one-button suit jacket for a while. I was thinking of buying one in black since it would be very versatile. The other day I stopped at a wonderful consignment store called “The Wear House” and found an off-white jacket that fit me. I bought it because who can beat a $15 suit jacket. It looks lovely; the only problem is that it gaps above the button when I move around much or sit down. I’m constantly straightening it. I also have this problem with my jeans jacket. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do about it? Should I sew on a hook and eye at the top? </p>
