The EF jacket is pretty, but I do find the proportion odd--probably just too long. <br />Your outfit that you posted for jacket comparison is fantastic! </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378254 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 04:41:43 +0000 Nicola 1378254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see what things look like on another busty shorty! It's so hard to be objective about yourself so I was thrilled to see your post. Love that jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378249 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 04:16:11 +0000 Sveta 1378249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the AT tux on you, Ann! If you don't close it (and why should you) there would be no distortion on the bust I think. I am so glad you got it!<br />Honestly I am not in love with EF jacket on you - maybe I need to see a size up in it? I like AT so much more!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378245 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 04:05:27 +0000 Debbie 1378245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will love the tux jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378182 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 01:26:01 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1378182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's done ladies and my fab SA gave me 35% off!!! Stay tuned for outfit posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378181 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 01:25:58 +0000 Suz 1378181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, gryffin (if you pop back in) you are right!&nbsp;-- And sorry, Ann, for threadjacking --&nbsp;</p> <p>I think my struggle with long jackets&nbsp;is that my legs are proportionately <b>short</b>. I have other body type variables that should make them a good fit for me, but that throws things off, or at least makes them harder. Especially since my kneed to ankle is the proportionately short part. This one is so, so beautiful and super tempting for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378179 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 01:22:31 +0000 Suz 1378179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I already bought a "tuxedo" jacket, but this one is also seriously calling my name!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378073 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:57:56 +0000 Mellllls 1378073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the tux jacket is amazing on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378072 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:56:54 +0000 Tanya 1378072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jackets, bot of them!&nbsp; So glad Angie twisted your arms into buying the AT tux. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378070 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:56:14 +0000 gryffin 1378070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dashielle - the AT jacket is totally stunning on you!!&nbsp; If I had not already blown my budget plus, I would be all over it.&nbsp; It's always hard to see detail with black so I can't appreciate the lapel issue but I think you look amazing!!&nbsp; It is really interesting to see you in the EF jacket because I am a little rectangular pancake - nothing much fore or aft and the jacket fits me like it does on the model.&nbsp; I really like it on you but it creates&nbsp;much more of an&nbsp;hourglass effect on you than on me where it hangs pretty straight.&nbsp; I am only 5'3" but my height is in my legs, particularly knee to ankle.&nbsp; It hits me at about 35" or about 2/3 down the thigh.&nbsp; But then I will wear duster length to the knee happily without a backward glance.&nbsp; Suz and I have had this debate because she had said she feels overwhelmed by long jackets too while I am ransacking the universe to find more of them!!&nbsp; But this silhouette seems to accentuate your gorgeous curves while for me it reinforces the long vertical line.&nbsp; I also agree with Janet, I can wear the jacket closed, but I prefer it on myself open over a column of color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378058 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:50:51 +0000 bj1111 1378058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann--for the record...i see the bust gaping to which you refer. &nbsp;i think we're just sensitized to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378054 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:47:32 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1378054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just felt like it was gapping a little across the bust from the side view, but I could be overly sensitive. OK Angie, you twisted my arm...I'll go back by and get it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378047 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:41:55 +0000 jackiec 1378047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice of you to try on for the team ;)</p> <p>Love the AT on you for sure. But good point about it being similar to the Zara. I kinda think so too, and love the Zara one on you - esp in that fab outfit!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378042 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:32:14 +0000 Angie 1378042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, what about the leather lapels is&nbsp;putting you off? I can't remember seeing "distortion". This size is perfect. It's killer,&nbsp;and a completely different animal to the Zara. You battle to find jackets that fit - and this one has an AMAZING fit.&nbsp;FWIW.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378030 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:15:20 +0000 K. Period. 1378030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dashielle, if it makes you feel better, the faux leather lapels on mine bothered me too. &nbsp;Now, after seeing it on you, it makes me feel like I should try mine on again and see if it really is not working or just my overly-critical eye. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378027 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:11:32 +0000 catgirl 1378027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want that jacket! But shipping is $25! Why?!!?</p> <p>Thanks for posting pics, Dash. You need to get the AT jacket. Very few EF items work for me, which I find strange but it probably better for my bank account. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378011 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:47:55 +0000 Janet 1378011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I see the tux jacket as being dressier than the Zara. Hey, glittery Newbury bootie twin!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378010 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:46:37 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1378010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to size up and try a 10 just to make sure it didn't lay flatter on the chest, and they didn't have one in store. I also fear it may be redundant to the Zara zip one I already have (see pic). Not off the list yet though...technically I'm still at work, so I'm not in trouble yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1378009 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:46:02 +0000 Janet 1378009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you wear them both closed? I think they look great -- particularly the tux jacket! But I kind of want to see them open, if you wear them that way -- I suspect the EF would look less overwhelming in length if we see more of the layers beneath.&nbsp;I tend to only close jackets when I'm about to put a coat on over them. Thanks for modeling, from this busty non-shortie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1377997 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:36:48 +0000 Angie 1377997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I have to add that you will be in trouble if the AT tux jacket did not follow you home.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1377992 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:34:40 +0000 carter 1377992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree the tux jacket is amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1377980 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:17:50 +0000 rabbit 1377980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking the same thing, man that tuxedo jacket is smashing on you, especially if it looks as good open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1377973 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:05:38 +0000 Angie 1377973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOOD GRIEF. See how magical that AT tux jacket is on just about any body type. It's a magical piece. Thanks for modeling. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modeling-jacket-finds-for-busty-shorties#post-1377967 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:58:35 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1377967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on a small of the Eileen Fisher Alpaca Notch Collar Jacket and an 8 in the AT Tuxedo jacket and here are my findings. The EF jacket is heavenly snugly as many have noted. The EF store only has the brown version and Nordies only has the Grey. I felt a little overwhelmed with the length, at 5'2", but love the lack of lapels. The AT tuxedo is a cool jacket, and it stretches, which I love. I didn't love the distortion of the faux leather lapels in the chest area. That may be my poison eye though. Hope this helps anyone looking at these items. </p>
