Also a bit undecided whether i'll get the use out of it if i can only wear it smart x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129861 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:26:48 +0000 Angie 129861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that what you've linked to works from a fabric point of view Louise, but they might be a little too cropped. But try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129807 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:19:30 +0000 Louise 129807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup thanks Angie I'm guessing then that the one i linked to doesn't fit the bill as it's a polyester mix? I might order it and give it a go it can always be returned i might get more wear from it than a true tux jacket x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129647 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:41:34 +0000 Angie 129647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle* Fiona. Aren't designer items ridiculously priced. I'd much rather you buy a fab tuxedo jacket from Zara and see us at the 2011 Worldwide YLF convention. </p> <p>Louise, tuxedo jackets needn't be cropped. (Well explained, Maya). You're after tuxedo detailing which is usually a satin lapel, covered satin buttons and probably a bit of satin binding on welt pockets. You're also looking for the jacket in an overall formal looking fabrication - no knits. They can be short, hip length or longer. Does that answer your question?</p> <p>I want a hip length blazer with perfect satin lapels. Still looking :0( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129598 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:56:01 +0000 Mellllls 129598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wondering this myself; I think it is a more dressy black blazer. I love the first one you posted Louise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129597 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:52:56 +0000 Maya 129597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, I just googled "womens tuxedo jacket" and was led to that picture, but the website it's from appears to be down.

Where did you find it?</p> <p>All of them are gorgeous. I probably won't be getting one because they look very dressy.</p> <p>I would love to see some examples from Angie though and I have a feeling she might have something up her sleeve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129543 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:43:20 +0000 Louise 129543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flippin heck i see what you mean about the price fi. You have to keep your fingers crossed for a lottery win or failing that, one turns up on ebayx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129534 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:24:46 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 129534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should point out that my ideal jacket is the equivalent price of attending the YLF event! Something to lust over, rather than something I can actually afford! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129532 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:10:02 +0000 Louise 129532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Angie x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129425 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:43:18 +0000 Maya 129425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't profess to know anything about this, but my understanding of a tuxedo jackets is that the lapel is sort of shiny or satiny. Yours has sequins which is basically the same idea with a different effect.</p> <p><a href="http://s7v1.scene7.com/is/image/JohnLewis/000055325?$product$" rel="nofollow">http://s7v1.scene7.com/is/imag.....?$product$</a></p> <p>Doesn't necessarily have to be that long. Other than that, I just don't know what makes it different from a regular blazer. Maybe Angie will fill us in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129424 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:40:23 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 129424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Louise,</p> <p>I would love Angie's take on this, my ideal tuxedo jacket is something along this line - <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/63415" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/63415</a></p> <p>A longer dinner jacket style rather than a cropped style. I have seen others that have a double set of buttons at the bottom of the jacket as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tuxedo-jackets#post-129418 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:13:04 +0000 Louise 129418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm rather warming to the idea of these. Am i on the right track with this?<br /> <a href="http://www.asos.com/Rainbeaux/Rainbeaux-Sequin-Collar-Tuxedo-Jacket/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=655784&#038;SearchQuery=tuxedo" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/Rainbeaux/.....ery=tuxedo</a><br /> Do they only work for smart, dressy outfits or will they work dressed down? x</p> <p>Edit- by definition are they just a dressy jacket or should they be cropped etc?</p> <p>2nd edit- or is something like this more like it? <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-TUXEDO-GOTHIC-ROCKY-HORROR-BUTLER-JACKET-COAT-12_W0QQitemZ400105365153QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWomen_s_Clothing?hash=item5d28235ea1" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-TU.....5d28235ea1</a> </p>
