I’ve never done this on purpose but remember getting soaked in a downpour and my jeans stretching quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-small#post-2185139 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:23:36 +0000 unfrumped 2185139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look too small for an ideal fit.<br /> I’m always at risk of talking myself into something fitting when I love the color or some special detail, though, so I’ve been there. It depends on how particular you are and maybe it’s a useful item or a reasonable placeholder for a similar jacket that may turn up. Then I have trouble get rid of things later! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-small#post-2185138 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:21:21 +0000 nuancedream 2185138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket does look a bit too tight across the front and upper arm area. Are you able to move your arms comfortably?&nbsp; The jacket is the type of jacket that looks better when it is worn open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-small#post-2185134 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:09:04 +0000 Angie 2185134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Veruca</b>, it looks a size or two small. It's especially noticeable in front and under the arms. It's a very pretty colour on you and a potentially versatile item, though. I get why you brought it home.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-small#post-2185133 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:04:09 +0000 smittie 2185133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good!

Had to have it even though it's too small for me or is it? Or any ideas how to stretch it a bit? Thanks ladies x </p>
