Aleida Blazer

If you’re familiar with AllSaints, their sizing is always inaccurate. I should know better. I’m an average size 4/small. I ordered size 4 US in this black smoke blazer. Material was nice. Cut was nice. Bottom was flat so I get the “lab coat” reviews. But I thought it was flattering on my 5’3 body. Except the arms and back, or shoulder width. I’m a 34D and while it fit fine for an oversized blazer look, it was too tight for my arms and back. Note, My arms are a little thicker than most. There’s no stretch to it. Sadly a size up would be too big because the 4 US was a nice fit except where I needed it. Not comfortable.

Lightweight weight jacket that is nicely made. I like the clean lines, the open front design and longer length that falls well below the hip. I feel this is a versatile piece that can work with jeans, dress pants, a skirt or possibly even a dress. Given that this is a UK manufacturer, and based on other reviews, I decided to order a US size 8 and 10. I am glad I did as while I normally wear a size 10, the size 8 was a better fit for me. Regardless of size, I found the sleeves a bit tight, but fortunately it seemed to have some give and loosened up with wear. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

IRL the fabric is juts OK however, if you’re 5’6 or more I bet it works. I have broad shoulders and am 115# 5’2” the shoulders and upper jacket fit well. It hangs nicely. I think it would be worth it have the convenience of a matching set of it fit. Stars off for kind of cheap looking fabric up close.
