I had ordered a 2 Regular and it arrived today.  As the description on the BR site notes, it's fitted at the bust and roomy at the waist, which made me wonder how it was on You Of the Tiny Waist? Even on Me of the No Waist, the waist is roomy -- but of course the peplum creates the illusion of a waist. Thinking of trying the 0, except if it's any more snug in the bust, it will pull.

I'm not drawn to classic jean jackets but this one is quite appealing so I'm tempted to try it.  Thanks for the recommendation! tulle on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/3#post-1910222 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 17:43:42 +0000 tulle 1910222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I missed this post somehow, and only caught the thread later in Jane's version.  Such a great-looking jacket!  I am definitely going to seek it out.  The slight, high peplum, uncluttered round necklline, and soft, stretchy texture could make it a workhorse for me.  I think it would be perfect with white jeans.

The button-fly DOES lie flat and it's an excellent fit. You have to be prepared to do up the buttons though - which we are, but others are not.  Anonymous on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909892 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 19:15:18 +0000 Anonymous 1909892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The button fly on the Gap shorts lays flat, does not gap and they are high waisted. Angie on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909868 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 18:07:55 +0000 Angie 1909868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YES, I know, April. The button fly is an acquired taste.  April on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909867 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 18:06:48 +0000 April 1909867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Trying both of these, but had somehow missed the detail of the button fly on the shorts. Sorry, Angie -- can't bear all that fussing. Angie on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909770 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:54:07 +0000 Angie 1909770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ChrisM, the striped blazer does not need to close. It's perfect as is in that size. No need to do yoga in a blazer.... RobinF, the regular worked on my 5ft client.  Krish, try the Gap shorts.  RobinF on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909752 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 12:42:08 +0000 RobinF 1909752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love these, wish the jacket came in a petite. Might be worth trying anyway. krishnidoux on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909716 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:38:42 +0000 krishnidoux 1909716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Angie, very appreciated! I did see the shorts at the Gap, but they didn't make it in the trying room with me because I am still badly burned by a different pair (TM mid-rise which on me was more low than mid). This one indeed is completely different. White longer shorts are in fact very useful and versatile in the summer.  ChrisM on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909715 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:01:29 +0000 ChrisM 1909715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Angie - yes, probably need a 12 or 14 Tall in the denim jacket to get the proportions right. Thanks also, Runcarla - the stripe jacket is a 14, and was snug in the waist when fastened. I usually wear jackets open, but double breasted? With the button hole in the front placket? Love the fabric ...

A little short. You need a 12 tall.  And where is jacket #2 too small? It's fabulous.  ChrisM on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909629 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 00:18:47 +0000 ChrisM 1909629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tried on the size 12 in the denim jacket - I can see why you recommend it so highly, Angie. Sooo cute and very comfortable even though it was a size too small for me. Too bad! I would have to order the size 14 - the talls in larger sizes seem sold out, so I’m still on the fence. Not so sure about the look for me. I also tried on the stripe jacket in pic #2. The 14 fit better but very snug in the mid section. Too bad on this one too. I like the lines a lot. No sale here yet.

Jjsloane on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909331 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 10:27:26 +0000 Jjsloane 1909331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm tempted by the BR jacket which would be great for my new casual workplace, but I struggle with collarless jackets. They never feel right on me.  Like Shevia - I didn't realize long shorts had left either. The only shorts I really wear consistently are 2 pair of Paige denim long white shorts very similar to these (not frayed) that I will duplicate any chance I get. I wonder if these will live up to them? Aurore on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909301 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 07:52:07 +0000 Aurore 1909301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Whata great jacket! It's on sale on the BR EU site (39.99€!!), but currently out of stock in my size. It may be interesting for other european fabbers! Mac on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909296 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 07:01:43 +0000 Mac 1909296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I’m excited about this jacket. I’m drawn to pretty summer dresses but am always looking for ways to make them seem a bit more urban and less saccharine. I think a topper like this might do just the trick. Thanks, sweet @Angie! Jaime on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909257 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:39:59 +0000 Jaime 1909257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The return of long shorts? I didn't realize they ever left! delurked on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909213 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 00:46:16 +0000 delurked 1909213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ive been liking long shorts like you show above. I’ve already got 2 pair of white shorts, otherwise I’d try those out. The denim topper looks promising for many uses. Denim jackets always feel boxy to me. If I needed a jacket like that, it looks like a good one.

Now I will get to try 4 jackets, two regs and two talls. Not that I am tall by any means but just in case the waist of the regular is too high up for me. You cannot say that I don’t do my homework Angie on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909175 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 23:24:06 +0000 Angie 1909175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay, Tanya. Keep us posted which size works best.  Roxanna, you can ABSOLUTELY wear the jacket open. I have only done that so far. Dress is almost a perfect fabric match.  Roxanna on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909121 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 21:35:04 +0000 Roxanna 1909121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie -i like that Jacket get a lot but can it be worn open? I find I get more wear out of jackets that can be worn open too - otherwise they function like tops to me. As well, the matching dress seems like my perfect cut - is it the same stretchy, comfortable material? Tanya on "Two GREAT Finds: Good Price" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-great-finds/page/2#post-1909097 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 20:44:45 +0000 Tanya 1909097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have ordered the jacket is size 2 Tall and will report on the fit - I really want to try to get the peplum to hit at the right spot.  Thank you for the heads up, Angie!

It is even better deal in EU BR shop, only 39,99 Euros. I am slightly worried about die transfer, because I had trousers from BR in similar dark denim fabric that transfered everywhere, on my hands, on handbag, on tops....
