Not every style and cut is going to work for everyone though.... &nbsp; &nbsp; The Duchess was far too tight through the chest on me, but just fine at the waist . You're right : there are different fits in Smythe jackets and you need to try everything on &nbsp; &nbsp;Even the boyfriend cut differs by fabric - I have it in a linen blend in my usual 8, but it was far too big &nbsp;on me (big apple me) in the microfibre blend. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-smythe-dandy-linen-blazer#post-1706934 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 14:57:18 +0000 gradfashionista 1706934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently ordered the Smythe 'Dandy' linen navy blazer, even though I have my eye on a very different Fall style. I thought it would be worth trying, because it's a light material and perfect for warmer weather, and because the rich navy offers a more casual and flattering vibe than a traditional black blazer. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics, but I wanted to share that the blazer is cut *very* large, relative to Smythe. Whereas an 8 in the Duchess fits me well in the shoulder and the waist, the 8 in the Dandy was too large in the waist, to the point that the blazer looked uncharacteristically shapeless. Quite surprising. This blazer would probably work well for apple-ish figures, or those with larger midriffs (bust and stomach) relative to their shoulder line. &nbsp;I hope the review helps those who might be considering the style. </p>
