Now I can continue the hunt for the perfect blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-732020 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 00:25:37 +0000 K. Period. 732020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Whew* I was going to vote for sending it back, but was feeling guilty for being a nay-sayer. Now that Angie has weighed in, I'm feeling like less of a fuddy-duddy. I like jackets to close or at least look like they can. I'm not against ones that actually can't. I have a cardigan that I bought knowing that it couldn't close without gaping, but I like the line of it and I never ever intended to button it up. This one just looks (as you put it) skimpy. You have a good eye. Send it back and get something fabulous instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731925 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:48:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 731925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't sit well on the bust area to my eye. I'd wait for the perfect one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731887 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:10:00 +0000 Angie 731887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smythe runs a few sizes small. I don't mind a blazer that does not close if it fits everywhere else. But this blazer is clearly ill-fitting. I vote return, as beautiful as it is </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731882 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:07:38 +0000 catgirl 731882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have drooled over these forever but yes, they run crazy-small. I'd want a perfect fit for the price. Is there a link showing how it looks on the model? Not that that's necessarily the standard but I'd like to see the jacket more clearly to advise you better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731848 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 21:10:23 +0000 Suz 731848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it is SOOOOO gorgeous. I am not an expert on the fit of these. I hope Angie will weigh in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731842 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 21:03:15 +0000 annagybe 731842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on a Smythe jacket at the NAS. I'm normally a 10 in jackets. Their 12 was too tight on me. I think they run incredibly small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731839 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 21:02:00 +0000 Nicole D 731839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the largest size (12!). I like it but I feel a bit exposed, I think it looks a bit skimpy....and it was expensive. I think I would get more wear out of a piece that fit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731830 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:51:50 +0000 ironkurtin 731830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it was in fact designed to be worn this way. Do you like it open? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731815 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:31:01 +0000 merwoman 731815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous Nicole - the lines are lovely. However, Smythe blazers are rather expensive - if I was buying one I'd want to to have the option of doing it up.<br /> Even undone - it looks like it needs more fabric in the front panels.<br /> And yet it seems to fit you in the shoulders...sigh...size up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-blazer#post-731810 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:17:37 +0000 Nicole D 731810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This amazing blazer was delivered today...it is a Smythe brand and website (eluxe) states it is meant to be worn open, but it cannot be buttoned in the front (even with a deep inhale). I think I know what you are going to say....</p> <p><a href="http://static.eluxe.ca/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/420x500/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/e/l/eluxe_smythe_jacket.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://static.eluxe.ca/media/c.....jacket.jpg</a> </p>
