Veronica Beard jacket sizing?

JuniperGreen

Hi all - Veronica Beard is having a sale on their site, and I may give a jacket a try (very very intrigued by the whole dickie situation).

Anyone care to share their VB sizing experiences with the jackets?

All I can say is that I gifted my sister a VB jacket in her usual size and it seems to have fit her just fine.

Also she has loooong arms and is often frustrated at having to push up every sleeve -- I have not heard that from her re. this jacket.

Hi juniper - I have a major “thing” for VB jackets. I’ve managed to acquire 7 (blazers are my thing) and have 6 dickeys. I will tell you the VB makes incredibly well made and flattering jackets. I’ve been fortunate to score all but one (my beloved scuba - because it almost never gets reduced) on sale. I do think size varies by cut. Although most of my jackets are size 4 in VB, two of them are size 8. The miller style runs big as does most double breasted. I have the 4, I could have taken a 2. The long and lean runs small. I would need a size 8. The lonny and scuba run TTS I have the 4. The Matteo is TTS but slim. If you are between sizes size up. If the material had stretch go TTS. If no give, thick material and a narrow non double breasted cut consider sizing up unless you like your jackets snug. For reference I am 5’3” 111 lb. usually size 4. In designer theory 8, helmut Lang 6, Iro size 8, Smythe 8, Rebecca Minkoff 4-6. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much April, Angie and gryffin! Hugely helpful.

Alas, my size seems sold out on the VB site for now but I will be stalking a few of these pieces this year!!!

I have two (the blazer style takes a dickey, the zip front one does not). Both are TTS for me (I'm typically an 8/M on top), but I have tried on some in the past that run smaller/narrower. Some styles don't work on me at all because they are narrow through the hip and not very generously cut in the chest. So it seems to vary from style to style. Good luck!

I have this jacket and it is true to size. I bought the size 4 and my JCrew purchases are also size 4. I was wowed by the quality.

I have 3 VB jackets and some knits and woven tops. I am a size small in most knit items and a 4 in the woven tops but to get sleeves long enough and shoulder fit for VB jackets I take a size 6. I admit to long arms and broad shoulders!
