Skinnygirl TS - 7/21 - Page 7

joviolin · ‎04-20-2020

I received my jackets in gray and black yesterday. So glad I ordered both colors!! The gray is lighter than I expected and the black is darker - both pleasant surprises. The peplum look is absolutely adorable - I will probably wear the jackets buttoned to emphasize that feature. I ordered true to size but probably could have sized down due to the amount of stretch in the jackets. Still, they fit well, are figure-flattering (both buttoned and unbuttoned), and the hardware is beautiful. The only problem I had is that most of the buttonholes were too small, so I cut them open a bit - easy fix.

This is my first Skinnygirl order and I am very impressed with the quality, style, and price!

My Waitlist order arrived today. Fits well, a bit smaller would not be a problem, but a full size I don't think would work. Sleeves are too long. Also, it stinks a little. Hopefully, airing it out will help with that.

@Icegoddess - not having the traditional cuffs, you can just roll the sleeves under or over right?

I always wash new denim items before wearing, especially the darker tones bc of the possibility of dye transfer.

@Franklinbell - I'm so glad to read that everyone here that purchased is happy. We got such a steal of a price plus free shipping. Price is now at 'regular' $80 😳

@joviolin - thank you for your details on the colors and buttonholes. I might pick up one of your colors if it makes it to a reduced/clearance price.

Her jeans are highly rated and stylish. And occasionally there is a good clearance price on older items. She also gets somewhat regular TS events; I will be watching for the next one

@Chi-town girl yes, I currently have them turned up. I don't mind the look of the underside showing. Or, I could just re-hem them if I wanted. I noticed it was just a straight stitch instead of the cover-stitch often used on jeans. That looks like two rows of stitching with loops between them on the underside. I could actually do that sort of hem on it too if I really wanted since I have a machine I can do that on, but it can be a pain to change over from a serger stitch. It's certainly not a reason to send it back.

Ooh, I just had a thought; maybe I should make thumb holes and wear them long.

Yeah, I should wash it although I doubt it would shrink any. I do have some jeans where that smell is still there even after washings though.

@Icegoddess - I always wash new denim separately in cold water. No shrinkage.

What a nice surprise purchase for us! It's definitely a 3 season jacket for me, but I'm especially thrilled to have it as a new Fall item for my closet. Still marveling at the event pricing 😎

I liked it and it fit me fine but NO pockets- I missed that. I didn't keep it.

Received the Black Denim Jacket today. Fit is great and I'm still giddy about the TS price of $40.00 - it was a steal. I'll get alot of use from this jacket I think. Thanks Chi-town girl for posting - I always appreciate the heads up on good deals and cute items.
