Re: KOCO and the blazer, which was far too small so WHAT SIZE?

Blazers are cut to fit the SHOULDERS, not the bust. So for many women with a larger bust, the blazer does not button. A woman might have to go up a size or two to be able to button the blazer, but that would look matronly/sloppy IMO. I've never looked at anyone wearing a blazer and thought "she can't even button it." But do you.

That Liverpool blazer doesn't have any buttons. I like at least one button on my blazers. It just seems like something is missing when there are no buttons.

I thought everyone looked fine in the jackets they had on. I prefer jackets and sweaters that have some sort of closure - button/zipper/snaps on myself so I can have the option to wear closed when situation calls for closing - say when it's rainy or windy or I'm cold.

 

What I didn't quite get were the sleeve length .. was it a 3/4 sleeve, which I do not like in a jacket or did they all just choose to have shorter sleeves? 

 

I liked how they showed the inside finishing detail. I thought it was nicely done. 

 

Re jackets in general ... boy do I  miss the Linea line of clothing. Louis knew how to fit a jacket/blazer. Sigh. I've kept a lot of them in my closet, even though they are a bit too large on me now, just because they are so scrumptious.

Some like to wear blazers and jackets open and prefer a tighter fit. Others like to button or have room for an additional garment underneath. There is no right or wrong fit, only what the wearer prefers.


I do wish posters would identify the items they are talking about. It would clear up a lot of guess work and confusion. There are so many times people post about what they just saw presented, but if you missed it or read about it later, you have no idea what they're talking about. I still have no idea which blazer the original post is about.

I agree @JJsMom - we need the item#. Someone may not read the post immediately or during a show

Re: KOCO and the blazer, which was far too small so WHAT SIZE?

I had no idea what the thread was about.   I just saw the thread today so I had no idea it was about what was on yesterday evening and I didn't have a clue who KOCO was.  To me, it would be helpful if an OP would give a bit more info.  Maybe I should just curb my curiosity and limit more what I open.
