UPDATE - New print dress, jacket & Blouse - disappointment

With ref to my previous past asking for opinions on the items I'd ordered.

Well, I really should stop building up my hopes to find the perfect jacket etc.
The print dress is cute - print is of Eiffel tower poodles etc (therefore my kind of thing).
Someone did mention on my last post that it might appear 'juvenile?- I like it tho.

The horse print blouse just didn't feel right (didn't even take a pic as I know that'll have to go back). The fit just made me feel frumpy and shapeless.

I'm on the fence about the jacket (I don't feel that the fit/shape is right for me). I know the pic doesn't look great but I couldn't get a better one. May be I should just try the old method of trying things on in shops rather than expecting too much of things chosen from a screen. Very disappointed......

I LOVE the jacket, what doesn't feel right about it? Jackets are hard to fit, I find that I always have to try them on. The dress is very sweet and seems to fit you well. I am the one who commented that it may be juvenile. I have a very youthful look and one of my style goals is to look my age - I know this isn't everyone's style aspiration.

I was looking at your other thread just seconds ago. Sorry the navy blouse didn't work out. The horse print was really fun and colorful. That dress is super cute. I love the whimsical print. I hope you can style it in way that is fab and feels like you. I'm not loving the jacket. I think if the cinched part was a bit lower it would look awesome, but the fit isn't the best.

I really like the dress to me, the jacket doesn't look like it is the best fit on you, but maybe that is because I find it really hard to find jackets that fit and thus, I tend to make up fit issues with jackets

I really like the jacket too, but is it the peplum that's weird to you? I can't wear jackets with peplums so I would pass on it but it looks great on you!

Cute dress. From the picture the jacket looks nice, but if it doesn't feel great then return and continue search. Sometimes I have to take a break from online shopping and returning and get out in the real world so I actually buy things I know what they are like (without the false expectations)

I also was wondering what feels off about the jacket?

I find the dress whimsical and flattering. Yay vote here.
