For me, the total jacket length looks good and the sleeves intended short. The color and cut of the jacket really look stunning on you. I sometimes have to wear an item for a bit, leave it on while I put away the pile of clothes I created trying to style the new item or something. A little test to see if I make peace with the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream/page/2#post-1278934 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 02:42:34 +0000 Missey 1278934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta- your expression in every photo is pensive verging on displeased.&nbsp; I don't think you'll every be happy with this jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream/page/2#post-1278604 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:35:35 +0000 viva 1278604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the XL on you, too, Sveta. And I LOVE bracelet sleeves. I think they are feminine and retro and very sleek looking. They don't look like you've outgrown the jacket, especially if you wear a bracelet and use some of the space they intentionally provide between the edge of the jacket and your wrist. Love this on you and hope you keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream/page/2#post-1278600 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:20:21 +0000 CocoLion 1278600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NOt too small! &nbsp;Please keep it. &nbsp;You look like a model in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278548 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 14:56:01 +0000 Angie 1278548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the XL on you, Sveta. Not too short at all. Please keep and enjoy.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278419 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 05:21:29 +0000 Ledonna N. 1278419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this piece on you as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278276 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:45:20 +0000 Marley 1278276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sveta - this is just lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278271 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:36:52 +0000 unfrumped 1278271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Righto, you still have to like it. If this bit here and that bit there are kind of bothersome or make you fret, then say "next" and keep looking for your jacket.<br />I'm trying to learn that things can look "fine" but still not be quite right, and it's not just about settling, it's that each one of those kinda-sorta's interferes with nailing down the looks I want--takes up space and mental energy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278259 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:12:13 +0000 Sveta 1278259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your opinions.<br />Ornella, this is the same jacket but it is open in 4 and zipped up in 3.<br />I am OK with the sleeve length as I tend to scrunch them anyway and I also can unzip the sleeve and turn up the cuff. It is the back length I &nbsp;am not sure about.<br />Mona, I have seen your post and I think your jacket fits differently than mine does. I wonder if my size L fits closer to yours...<br />Angie, thank you for chiming in. On you sleeves are not as short as on me or on the model I think they are at last an inch above my wrist bone. This is bigger size - XL. L fits the same in the shoulders but less boxy through the body. with XL sleeves are not tight; with L they are a bit tight from elbow down.<br />So you think it is not too short for me?<br />gryffin, it works well with skirts and dresses, both fitted and flared.<br />\now about a side view. I don't see it as much in the mirror but in the picture when it is open it kind of "sticks out" too much, no? It maybe because it is not steamed out and it did not "mold" yet. Also there was a bit of wind and i think it blew it a bit open in the pictures... does it feel like I am trying to convince myself that the fit is not too bad? :-)<br />Suz, you are wise as always. I need to try and style it better before making a decision, right?<br />I think the whole length thing is a sensitive issue for me. As petite gals are afraid that a bit&nbsp;longer sleeves look like they borrowed the jacket from "mom's" closet, for a tall gal like me there is also that little voice in my head asking if I look it it like I outgrew &nbsp;it... that's why I ask for the wisdom of YLF and our fearless leader! :-)<br />I will try to play dress up tomorrow and take more pictures . I will also take pictures of another size &nbsp;- just too see if this bigger size is too boxy on me.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278238 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 23:11:50 +0000 crutcher 1278238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weighing in on great jacket...I am tall, too, and find some of these jackets that are a tad shorter in the front than the back are actually supposed to be so...I think tall women, like us, get it in our head that some things are just too short for us...Maybe in some it is true...However, in this one, it fits you and looks great...Hope you find it in your heart to like how you look in this one too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278186 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:58:46 +0000 Ornella 1278186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm interested to see how this will unfold. As fellow tall gal I immediately noticed the sleeve length and it bothered me. You say you can live with that, so that's not an issue for you.</p> <p>The jacket looks awesome on #5.&nbsp;</p> <p>It looks great from the back. But I'm not sure about the side view, is there a difference in sizes in photos #3 and #4?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1278005 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 15:32:47 +0000 Mona 1278005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, the fit looks great on you. Is this only XL that you are showing? Actually, I got this jacket too and am now going to do a post on it so we can compare the fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277994 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 15:19:27 +0000 Angie 1277994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Psssst everyone....the sleeves are bracelet length and supposed to be short - on me too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sveta, is this the L or XL? And where does it feel tight on the sleeves? I like the fit of this jacket. xo</p> <p>(I replied to your question back on the blog post yesterday so check back).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277942 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 14:21:11 +0000 Diana 1277942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really good except for the sleeve length. Pretty sure the sleeves are supposed to be that length though; it's just that I personally don't like bracelet length sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277863 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 11:41:35 +0000 gryffin 1277863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - Of course it's you call all the way, but I have to tell you I LOVE this one you.&nbsp; First to me, those are three quarter sleeves which are hard to find and fabulous on a spring, summer, fall jacket.&nbsp; Very elegant and perfect for a cuff.&nbsp; Second, I always thought this was a cropped jacket.&nbsp; This jacket fits you like my HL Gala Tux jacket fits me.&nbsp; Have you tried this over a fitted dress?&nbsp; It hits you at the sweet spot giving you beautiful waist definition.&nbsp; Also would you consider trying this with a true column of color (go dark just do you can see how the jacket almost alone interacts with your figure.&nbsp; I think this is stunning but I get the feeling what you pictured in your mind is not what you are seeing.&nbsp; Remember this may just be a readjustment in your thoughts.&nbsp; Of course, if that is not what you wanted them you will find a perfect item but for my end, I adore this on you.&nbsp; I see this swinging caual and dressy but stunning over a simple summer dress!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277853 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 10:53:31 +0000 missvee 1277853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it fits well, but may not be to your taste, as Bella points out. I don't think you will like it with cropped pants - then it will seem like you grew out of your clothes all of a sudden :-). But with long trousers, or jeans, or skirts you may find the look quite appealing after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277845 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 08:59:52 +0000 bella 1277845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket fits you as it is intended to fit. If you think that is too short for your taste, however, that's an entirely different story. It looks superb, me thinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277833 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 07:21:38 +0000 ElleH 1277833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is not too short. I think it looks good with pants &amp; the skirt. The sleeves are bracelet length. I have jackets with bracelet sleeves &amp; I worry that others wont realize they are supposed to be that length so I scrunch them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277830 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 06:48:11 +0000 Jeanie 1277830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it is hitting you pretty much in the same place on the back as on Angie (as far as I can tell from pics). &nbsp;It looks like it is supposed to be a cropped jacket which may not be as versatile in your wardrobe as a longer jacket. &nbsp;It certainly is gorgeous and a great wardrobe update. &nbsp;&nbsp;It may leave you&nbsp;still craving&nbsp;a longer white jacket&nbsp;in addition to this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277780 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 03:58:17 +0000 Anonymous 1277780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not good at proportions but feel that you should take the advice of Suz and others and try the jacket with your things. I love the fluid structure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277768 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 03:39:53 +0000 Peri 1277768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry, I will be the no fun one. I think it looks too short. It just looks out of proportion. But maybe I don't like it on the model either. Plus others who know much more than I do have been in favor so you might want to toss out my opinion! It's just that I have seen you in things that look much better on you. I'm so sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277742 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 03:20:46 +0000 Suz 1277742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, this you must sleep on and play with. The first rule of K/R is style the item as you might wear it. Sure, it's fine to just throw on jeans or a simple top with whatever you happen to be wearing and look at the fit. But if an item has a new silhouette, it's crucial to play in the closet and see it different ways. Tomorrow you must show us. I have great hopes of this piece.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277734 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 03:14:48 +0000 unfrumped 1277734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can wear this jacket with the right pieces. It is boxy and architectural and not a go- with- everything jacket-/ so, maybe not as versatile as some others, but maybe makes more wow with what works.<br /> I think it fits you about how it's supposed to, but you may be a little more long- waisted. So then the proportions of the top and bottom are a little trickier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277730 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 03:10:28 +0000 Neel 1277730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know it looks gorgeous with the skirt and will look good with dresses too. I am not convinced about the pant look though You probably should play around more like others suggested and see how it works. Its a beautiful jacket on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277722 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 02:45:21 +0000 deb 1277722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The back of the jacket is what kept me from ordering this jacket, Sveta. I love the white with gold hardware and wish the whole jacket was longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277700 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 02:20:06 +0000 Lisa 1277700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is too short, isn't that a bracelet sleeve and a cropped back?&nbsp; I do think this jacket has a specific structure to it and I like it.&nbsp; It's not a blazer or moto and it's not going to fit like one.&nbsp; It has a very minimal with sharp lines vibe to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277699 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 02:19:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1277699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another one who isn't convinced it's too short on you Sveta. And the style is gorgeous. Let's wait and see what Angie had to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277698 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 02:18:41 +0000 Anonymous 1277698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say sit on it and do a proper trial with pants etc. when you have a chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277695 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 02:16:38 +0000 Sveta 1277695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I need to sleep on it a bit? :-)&nbsp;<br />Ceit, I am also 178cm tall but I think my torso is longer than the model's so it looks shorter on me. If I wear a belt on my waist the bottom of the jacket just covers the bottom of the belt...<br />I did not style it in these shots, just tried on with the trousers I had on today.<br />I tried a smaller size again and it does fit more like on the model but the length is shorter for sure!<br />Maybe I need to have a photo session with my closet with this jacket and see what works? Definitely skirts and dresses work with it well, it is jeans and pants I am not sure about...<br />I feel this saga may be continued!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shuttered-white-dream#post-1277653 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 01:08:46 +0000 Karie 1277653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks too short - it fits you just like it fits the model. I really like it with the skirt. </p>
