Proper fit makes all the difference!!</p> <p>&nbsp;And it can be done! They do this at Danier all the time. Ask the alterations dept. at Nordies what is possible. They will take it up from the shoulder.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I do scrunch my sleeves on my taupe leather jacket with knit inset panels on the sleeves All. The. Time. I am an inveterate sleeve scruncher and I love that they stay scrunched. However, mine don't have that zipper detail.&nbsp;</p> <p>OPTION: Unzip a bit and CUFF TO THE RIGHT LENGTH.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also want you to have that Chanel jacket. The more I look at it, the more I love it on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988697 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:48:00 +0000 Mochi 988697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie. Thank you. Now: eenie, meenie, miney, mo....</p> <p>Kidding. I will think on it. And get larger size if I do get the Halogen. Maybe will post one potential outfit with the Chanel?&nbsp;</p> <p>Let's rob a bank.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988695 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:45:58 +0000 Angie 988695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!!! I didn't know that you wanted me to look at the next set of pics too. I misunderstood.</p> <p>I still vote Regular - and another of my petite clients got the Regular instead of the Petite for the same reasons. </p> <p>It's not an either or in terms of item - but I guess it is in price. I prefer the fit even more of the Chanel jaket. But I like the integrity of the leather jacket more for your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988693 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:44:00 +0000 Mochi 988693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, but I'll bump this one time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988685 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:38:09 +0000 Mochi 988685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Angie. Don't quite understand....since your comment&nbsp;I added pics so you could see exact same outfits for comparisons. Also wondering which jacket is a keeper if I can only keep Halogen or Chanel. Thank you so much! Sorry to be a pest.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988681 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:34:55 +0000 Angie 988681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I chimed in above your comment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988678 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:32:33 +0000 Mochi 988678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, rae and everyone. Here's the last set. First pic is of the regular size; the rest are petite (except for bonus shot of me wearing Chanel-ish jacket again).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988668 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:24:51 +0000 rae 988668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote the regular, and don't tuck your tops with it. The jacket creates a waist so it fights a bit with the second waist of a belt. I don't mind the sleeves long </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988661 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:16:43 +0000 Mochi 988661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also please consider that if I get the larger Halogen, I will keep the sleeves long. Maybe I can scrunch (not sure if that would look good with this jacket), or else they'll be long.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988659 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:15:06 +0000 Mochi 988659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, I will take one last pic of me wearing EXACTLY the same outfit in the petite jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988658 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:14:01 +0000 Mochi 988658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(hoping Angie sees this)</p> <p>If I had to choose, would you suggest I keep the Halogen or Chanel jacket? xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988656 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:11:18 +0000 Angie 988656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>I prefer the extra coverage in front of the Regular = #1. It's longer and streamlines proportions somehow.</p> <p>It took me a while to decide that though. Your outfit execution in #1 is better tha the petite version, which can influence our judgement. </p> <p>KEEP THE JACKET THIS TIME PLEASE!!! </p> <p>Have to say, you <b>*rock*</b> that Chanel jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988637 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:15:33 +0000 amiable 988637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That #1 looks on you like what I think you were going for with the vest in the other thread - sleek and swashbuckling. &nbsp;I really like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988635 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:14:21 +0000 Mochi 988635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! What an interesting range of opinions. Thanks, all. I will of course be dying to know what Angie thinks, but everyone's feedback is really helpful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988634 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:13:26 +0000 Mochi 988634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Detail of sleeves with zip, leather&nbsp;and stretchy knit material.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, if the rest of the jacket looks better longer, I still wanna know.&nbsp;</p> <p>thx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988633 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:11:59 +0000 Anonymous 988633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote the regular even if the sleeve is a little long. The "v" hits you at a much more flattering spot. I am going to say tho, if you are to keep only ONE thing, it must be that last tweed jacket there. An 11/10 to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988632 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:05:00 +0000 Mochi 988632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sleeve length is indeed an issue, especially since there are zipper details.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are pics of the new jacket. And one last pic of the Chanelesque jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sigh. As I took the new set of pics,&nbsp;I heard my MIL's voice in my head: "You don't own stuff. Your stuff owns you...."</p> <p>Thanks for critical feedback. xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988624 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:54:01 +0000 rachylou 988624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm... what Gaylene says.</p> <p>Do you still have the regular or do I need to run from a return-beating? Hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988619 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:48:50 +0000 Gaylene 988619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the regular size better because I think it gives a sleeker, more vertical drape in the front when you wear the jacket open, assuming it was feasible to tweak the sleeve length. I also think you ought to seriously consider keeping the Chanel-style jacket. It looks amazing on you, and I love it with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988618 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:48:10 +0000 Marley 988618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re the Lafayette - I don't think the cut is near as flattering on you as the cut of the Halogen.&nbsp; Also, the shoulders look a little too wide on it - are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988617 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:46:58 +0000 Suz 988617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say exactly the same as Marley. Let's see them side by side with the same backdrop (or similar). It is really tough to tell against the dark and the green.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your shoes, though!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988615 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:45:44 +0000 Marley 988615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jacket!&nbsp; And - (gulp) I like the look of #1 the best - but it may just be that I have a better view of it with the white shirt as a backdrop, rather than the dark shirt?&nbsp; I'm not sure - would you mind taking pics of the petite in the same outfit that you are wearing in #1? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-halogen-jacket-arrived#post-988610 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:33:29 +0000 Mochi 988610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After all your threatened beatings of me.&nbsp;So here goes. First pic is of regular-sized jacket I showed you last week. After that, it's the petite version, except for the very last pic. That's another Lafayette 148 Chanel-type of jacket that looks okay, I think, but not justifiable to keeping because 1. it's way unaffordable at current price (but should I return and then&nbsp;stalk?) and 2. I'm not sure this is really my style anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>Did I do the right thing by switching to a petite size? No discernible difference? I feel like I'm too short-torsoed and therefore a bit cropped is better on me, but who knows.&nbsp; </p>
