Agreeing to size up the dress- or does it come in a tall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer/page/2#post-2165581 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 19:38:20 +0000 CocoLion 2165581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the leather blazer. &nbsp;It's a very classic style. &nbsp;I have a longer version of this style in dark brown from the 90s (!) and it has never dated. &nbsp;</p> <p>I see the blazer as a great piece to go with jeans. &nbsp;You could add a poncho or scarf for more warmth. &nbsp;Or a bulkier coat. &nbsp;The nice thing about leather without lots of hardware is that other layers slide over easily.</p> <p>I vote return the dress. &nbsp;The picture in the Finds looks like a different item. &nbsp;I'm almost thinking there is a workmanship/pattern/sizing error, because I'm assuming you ordered your usual size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165517 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 16:12:07 +0000 Minaminu 2165517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the leather jacket with the gold ware is super on you! The blazer is a bit bland, in comparison!</p> <p>The colour of the dress is lovely and the pattern is fun, however I am not sure whether the dress is becoming on you. It does not seem to be in proportion with your shape, particularly the sleeves which are big and the torso section which is short. I have seen you in other dresses that complimented better your silhouette and would therefore not keep this one, sorry !!! Hope you won't be upset with this feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165516 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 16:00:25 +0000 Gaby Meyers 2165516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the moto jacket and I think it will look great with many outfits such as jeans, pants and many types of dresses such as the one you're wearing.<br />Blazer fits/ooks fine on you but not a wow piece.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165486 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 13:25:16 +0000 RobinF 2165486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the comments about the dress and moto but I quite like the blazer. I could see it as a basic that you throw on over other things but is more interesting in leather than if it were fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165435 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 03:20:22 +0000 Gigi 2165435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really loving the blazer on you! Yes, it's different from what you usually wear, but I think it totally works. It seems to have that "effortless" French chic vibe.</p> <p>I would try a size up in the dress so that it is more drapey.&nbsp;</p> <p>Moto looks amazing! Great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165431 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 02:44:15 +0000 JAileen 2165431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blazer. &nbsp;The boots are wrong, but some black boots and maybe &nbsp;a black turtleneck sweater, and voila - a beatnick look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165420 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 00:59:57 +0000 Janet 2165420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, the moto is fantastic but you already know that! I quite like the blazer too — it’s a totally different look and I can see it working well for you. Have you tried styling it? (In my experience, YLF members often react differently to toppers when they are styled than when they are not — I know a few times I’ve gotten a lukewarm response to an item until I style it.)</p> <p>The dress looks a bit short in the body — I would try a size up. Love the print and the style certainly has potential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165412 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 00:28:38 +0000 catherine 2165412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how the blazer looks on you.

There is no question in my mind which is the KILLER piece :)</p> <p>I vote pass on the dress. Although the pattern is delicious with the mismatched animal print pumps and your complexion, the proportions look off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165365 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 18:18:38 +0000 kkards 2165365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another lover of both leather pieces. But I’d pass on the dress, to me it seems like a lot to fix and its iffy as to where it can be fixed&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165321 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 14:49:06 +0000 Helena 2165321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty much what notsaf said .. perhaps try a size up in the dress if you love it (it looks great!) and if that doesn't work, I'd say pass and look for something similar ... love the blazer but agree that it's fairly specific, so it's more a matter of lifestyle fit than whether the look is good ... it looks amazing on you though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165319 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 14:39:29 +0000 Windchime 2165319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m adding my voice to the others who love the proportions of that moto jacket on you! &nbsp;It sounds like the fit issues with the dress might rule it out. &nbsp;I think you could find a similar dress that fits better. &nbsp;I’m so so about the leather blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165318 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 14:19:55 +0000 Anonymous 2165318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That moto jacket is a hard act to follow! &nbsp;It's a wonderful piece. &nbsp;The blazer looks like a good fit and it's marked way down, so why not? &nbsp;I love the colors of the dress on you, but agree that it's too short-waisted. &nbsp;Wish I could help on the alteration question, but I'll leave that to the experts! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165316 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 13:10:17 +0000 notsaf 2165316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha I have exactly the same troubke with Rebecca Taylor. I adore her styles, but they are always too short waisted. I would pass on this: the fabric is delicate, though they're lovely, her fabrics aren't high quality enough to undergo complex alterations.</p> <p>Great moto! The blazer is great if that's a style you want to try, but it's a very particular look. I wouldn't button. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165310 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 12:15:43 +0000 Vildy 2165310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point that was made about this style of dress often designed to fit more fully and therefore to try the size up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165303 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 11:54:01 +0000 Cee 2165303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165296 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 09:20:12 +0000 Synne 2165296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a cool, experimental almost flashy but fun and bold sense of style! I kinda see why you are drawn to the leather blazer, it's very now, very modern, artsy. But agree it's not up to par. I think you would rock a cropped non-black version better. Agree the moto looks perfect! The animal print dress looks wonderful, too bad it's the wrong fit. Next? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165289 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 05:51:44 +0000 LAR101 2165289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like RL, I love the blazer, too.<br /> Very different look than the moto.<br /> Great dress but I would pass on the poor fit. Maybe size up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165286 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 04:52:50 +0000 rachylou 2165286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I very much like the blazer. It’s classy and fresh. The dress sounds uncomfortable... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165273 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 03:22:52 +0000 unfrumped 2165273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto’ing mostly.<br /> Moto is fab and the gold hardware works for you.<br /> Blazer is too roomy, too severe in black, flat. Somewhere out there may be a great leather blazer that will work better. </p> <p>I’m not a fan of this dress for you, so I would not keep. The print is great, but it isn’t cut right for you. Too high - waisted , so then being short also, it looks a bit skimpy, rather than elegantly drapey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165267 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 03:05:32 +0000 Jaime 2165267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that the moto is the gold (hardware) standard and the blazer doesn't measure up. Can't give you advice about altering the dress but it looks smashing in the photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165248 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 02:05:20 +0000 cat2 2165248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pass on this dress, it looks like RT is a bit short waisted for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165246 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 01:51:31 +0000 Bijou 2165246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Suz, I am wowed by the moto, just amazing on you and does set the bar for comparison of the leather blazer very high. </p> <p>The blazer is nice and looks intentionally oversized but does not have the wow factor of the moto, which may be a good thing if you are not wanting the second leather jacket to be a statement. Given you have one amazing black moto, I would prefer a coloured leather blazer, such as tan or ink blue, just to mix things up a bit more. </p> <p>The dress looks short waisted, I would pass on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165238 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 00:46:06 +0000 Suz 2165238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, all I have eyes for is the moto! That is awesome on you! Love that whole outfit in #5.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress could potentially work, too -- colours are nice. I agree with those who suggest an attempt at a size up just to see.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I agree with Sally re the blazer. Given the other options in your closet, I can't imagine you reaching for this in preference. But it's not that it is bad. So if you have a yen for it and want to try it, why not?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165235 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 00:29:50 +0000 Echo 2165235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moto is, without doubt, more flattering, but flattering isn't necessarily the only bar. The blazer, while not too big, still seems to swallow you - like the jacket is wearing you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress is fab, and I agree with a PP that I might try a size up. The shirring should sit lower, and often when there is that sort of waist, the top is meant to be more blouson style. You may not like the dress as much that way, which would be a style preference, but I do think that it was intended to fit slightly larger overall.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165232 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 00:17:14 +0000 Sal 2165232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the moto on you.&nbsp; I also really like the dress but can't comment on the alteration.</p> <p>I am not sure on the blazer.&nbsp; It is cool in a 90s Matrix way but I don't love it......and you have such a stellar wardrobe that the bar is pretty high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165228 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 23:50:58 +0000 Anonymous 2165228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at the photo the shirring is lower on the model so you might try the larger size. It looks a little short waisted on you and that might be causing the snug rib cage? Could be a great dress for you.</p> <p>New moto looks great.</p> <p>I think you've identified the things that could be better with the blazer, too much uninterrupted textureless black, and not enough fit.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-this-leather-blazer#post-2165227 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 23:48:54 +0000 slim cat 2165227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your moto jacket with gold zippers - so fun! The leather blazer is a nice fit ( esp #3 shows ) and you look great in it.<br />Not sure that adorable dress could be changed around zipper - tricky.<br />Anyway you look fab in all of them! </p>
