Runs Big for Petite Ladies
I really really LOVE this blazer! Even though I had a bit of trouble finding the size that was right for me. I am 5'4" and petite small boned with a 39" bust. I usually take a large in tops as I don't like tight fitting clothes. And I knew I'd be wearing light weight long sleeve sweaters under the blazer ..... So the first time around after checking the sizing chart, I ordered a large in the hounds tooth and I literally swam in it. So I returned it and ordered the medium.... which was a better fit but... still too big in the shoulders. So returned this also and ordered the small and VOILA! Finally a perfect fit for me! So I believe the sizing chart reflects an oversized garment. This blazer is just lovely. It is well made and completely fully lined. I am a sewer, so I know a decent quality when I see it. The jacket has a good weight to it and doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. It is stylish and very comfortable to wear. And being small framed, I personally do not mind the thin shoulder pads in this jacket at all. For me it compliments my small shouldered frame and is quite flattering. I went back and ordered this same blazer in solid black in the small size and again a perfect fit for me. I have been very happy with the blazer and get a lot of compliments when I wear this hounds tooth blazer and the blazer in black. And in the spring, I may actually purchase another in a different color. Read more
