Double Breasted Wool Blazer

I’ve wanted this Balmain blazer for a while now and I just love it! It is the most sophisticated and elegant piece of ready to wear that literally goes with anything. I can wear it with jeans and a sweater or tee and a skirt to look more formal or a dress! I can’t wait to order the grey or white! Very versatile and so chic! Order a size up from your normal size because it was perfect when I ordered a 40 Fr. ( 6-8 Us.) I’m 5’5” and 130 lbs.

This is a beautifully made, timeless blazer. I did size up two sizes based on other reviews & I'm very happy I did! The sleeves are quite small on this blazer, so something to keep in mind when choosing your size. Having a little extra fabric gives me room to have it altered. The fit is more suited for long/thin arms. I normally take a small or FR36/38 depending on brand, and I purchased an FR40. For size reference, I am 5'4" 130lb. Well worth the splurge, I only wish it would come with a branded garment bag!

I’m typically a size 4 in blazers and jackets. I ordered the 6/38 and it was too small. Sleeves were extremely snug, I could barely get my arm through. There’s no flexibility in the the blazer so it didn’t stretch. It’s a beautiful blazer that I was looking forward to wearing for a lifetime. But it’s also heavy and runs small. I wish there was a Balmain garment bag included for that price tag, but Nordtrom did include one so I was happy with that. Unfortunately both the blazer and bag got returned.
