A special shout out to Angie and Kathie: The caps of the sleeves are indeed weird where they are attached and puff out especially in the back. I might have missed this without you but it was very obvious in the light of day (vs. my dim hallway light!) Once seen, I cannot unsee it.</p> <p>Alas, I really like the weight of this blazer, and it's the first one that's looked fine at the chest when unbuttoned and the first double-breasted one I've liked on me. But really, it's not a need and hardly a want.</p> <p>Back to Nordstrom it goes, and now we know why it was 60% off.</p> <p>Gratefully yours,<br />Donna </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284542 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 14:46:04 +0000 Angie 2284542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit works as a trendy look. </p> <p>But the seams on the shoulders look a bit dodgy. I vote pass.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284522 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 13:15:33 +0000 RobinF 2284522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are going for slouchy then I don't think this is the one. It looks like a longer fitted blazer. How is it when open? Might be more the look you are going for then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284516 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 12:55:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2284516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wish we could get a view from behind—the shoulders look fine from here, but its hard to tell.<br /> Actually, scratch that. I like it but you don't. Other views don’t matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284513 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 12:51:57 +0000 Jules 2284513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As for shoulder pad to slouchy, maybe it's about how the fabric drapes? My oversize blazer is in a relatively soft, drapey fabric (for a blazer). Just speculating though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284506 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 12:07:31 +0000 Jules 2284506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this style should fall straight from the exaggerated shoulder and not be fitted on the body. Buttoned, this one is too small on your lower half for this particular look. If you want a long, tailored blazer I would choose a style meant to have that silhouette. If you want the oversized look I think this one is too small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284503 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 11:50:49 +0000 kkards 2284503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the sleeves long enough? It’s always hard to tell in a selfie bc you have to hold your arm up. If they are then I think it’s a good fit. Not overly fluid, but still longer than a traditional blazer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284500 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 11:40:15 +0000 Kathie 2284500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass. Something is off in the construction of the sleeves where they are set into the shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284477 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 08:30:22 +0000 Star (Lise) 2284477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284469 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 06:54:57 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2284469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass. It’s ok, but I don’t think it lives up to the rest of your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284463 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 04:36:22 +0000 Sal 2284463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to tell - it looks like a tailored fit so if that works for you...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284462 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 04:18:22 +0000 Carla 2284462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you do the shoulder hug test comfortably? &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>I get why you like it, and it looks good to me. &nbsp;I’m figuring any bunching I’m seeing is due to raised arms for taking pics, ‘cause it looks like the shoulder fit is good. &nbsp;But it’s got to pass the comfort and movement test…</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284446 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 03:31:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 2284446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn’t look like the stock photos, I agree. I think it looks good on you but not as cool and edgy as lots of what we see you in.<br /> I don’t want to actually vote though because I am not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284444 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 03:26:22 +0000 slim cat 2284444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Difficult to say - it looks like a traditional fit ( open is probably the best ). The Halogen brand usually fits big in jackets - I've got swallowed by the XS size ( my usual size ).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blazer-too-small#post-2284437 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 03:04:17 +0000 DonnaF 2284437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a PXXS so a size down from what I would normally buy. Super discount (60% off) so a size up is unavailable.</p> <p>Black is so-o-o hard to photograph. (Suggestions? I tried to lighten.) This doesn’t fit as fluidly as the stock photos available if you click on the Find. I can button the bottom but I don’t think it looks great if I am wearing a full skirt; unbuttoned looks better. Nothing is tight.</p> <p>I’m worried that this looks overly tailored when it’s supposed to look slouchy and oversized which I must admit isn’t really my thing. But the shoulders have shoulder-pads so I’m not sure how that gets to slouchy. Nonetheless, I was planning to wear it casually with jeans.</p> <p>Too small so therefore return?</p> <p>Thanks for looking. </p>
