It looks AMAZING. She is 5ft 6. It comes in black.&nbsp;</p> <p>Boden does really good jackets for a larger bust.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jacket-for-a-large-bust#post-1536489 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 08:55:11 +0000 Maneera 1536489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love option 2! Very classy! </p> <p>I do get what you mean, Melinda. I struggle with ANY kind of jacket with a 40 inch bust because most brands here in India do not offer me blazers and coats that fit just right on my hourglass body and also close in the front. They either fit my shoulder and fall right and don't close in the front. Or they close in the front but look overall big, so must be treated like boyfriend Blazers. </p> <p>My solution now is to get one tailored. I buy great fabric from the menswear section and get a tailor to make my jackets just right. The fit is always phenomenal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jacket-for-a-large-bust#post-1536385 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 00:07:41 +0000 Melinda SF 1536385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I'm just behind the times, but I'm having a bear of a time finding a tuxedo jacket that will fit my bust (42-44). &nbsp;I am an inverted triangle and want something with a small lapel, very vertical, and one button, low below the bustline. &nbsp;Ideally, it'd be with jagged hem but I'm open to other ideas. &nbsp;My thinking is this is about dropping the waist and occasionally wearing open with a tuck/partial tuck for structure; but ideally I'd want something closed because of the awesome shape it gives my waist. &nbsp;I also think that uneven hem in the front is a bit more feminine and as you guys know I struggle to make sure my look stays a bit soft with cropped hair, and being tall and broad shouldered.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've attached two photos of different styles that I think could work but can't find in my size. &nbsp;And&nbsp;let me know if I'm way off track here on what might look better than this. &nbsp;I'm thinking ideally black, but I can see some inspiration in a navy or off white too.</p> <p>Generally I'd be wearing this with boyfriend jeans, especially white jeans, and occasionally at night in a more glammed up way.</p> <p>One idea I've had to is to go a men's store and have the thing tailored, but I thought I'd check here, just in case. &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't mind paying a good penny for it as i see this as something I'd get a lot of wear out of.&nbsp; </p>
