Whisper Double Breasted Blazer Long sleeve Minidress

I was on the hunt for a classic black blazer dress for several years. I have one by Good American but it was VERY short. This one, however, hit just above my knees. I’m 5’6, 160lbs with a curvy figure. I’m typically between an 8 and a 10. If you are curvy and in between sizes, I would recommend sizing up for extra space for the chest and hips.

This is well-made for the price and the fabric is substantial (with full lining), not at all thin or cheap feeling. I'm 5 feet tall, 98lb and the size 0 dress was a little big on me, so I am not sure if sizing up per the listing suggestion is necessary. The sleeves are also long on me so I folded them under, but that's to be expected since this isn't petite sizing. Wanted to show in pics how this looks worn open as a jacket, as well as closed. Regarding what another reviewer mentioned, I didn't find the dress to be low cut at all and I usually have that problem with other dresses!

K. Think I've read all of the other current reviews, and there are a couple points I didn't see mentioned. #1 the lapel doesn't necessarily lay flat - it can be discreetly stitched or double-sided taped down so not a biggie #2 the fabric - this is a really nice fabric. Mine was obviously an anniversary sale return and came with a couple pet hairs on it, but what is notable is they sat on top and didn't work into the fabric, if you KWIM. That's a good thing. I agree the construction is superior - lined throughout - which can make it heavy/hot if that's a concern. The hem length on a petite frame is perfect @ 2-3" above the knee. As far as the neck, I could see it being a tad bit too low, especially if you're petite and short-waisted, but that's easily overcome several different ways. From my perspective, it's a beautiful garment, but I'm on the fence about keeping it. Love everything I've stated, but, on me, it bunches a bit above the waist (hourglass shape). If you're a couple inches taller (or a couple pounds lighter), it might be absolutely perfect for you. Kate Middleton could carry this off in a heartbeat. Also, it flares a lot more at the thighs than it looks in the pix; on me, it makes my thighs look bigger than they are, and who needs that?
