Shrunken Herringbone Blazer

I usually wear a 14 or XL sometimes a L in tops and I couldn’t get the second arm in on this jacket. Size up one size and if you want to layer on top of a sweater you may need two sizes. Also I always have to have the length of the sleeves tailored but petite size usually work for me. However, the petite in this blazer had short arms, even for me. It is fully lined and matched the pants to perfection. With they carried more sizes in petite. I ordered a larger size in regular, hopefully it won’t be too big.

This is a nice herringbone blazer. I was so excited to try the size 4P when I received it (usual size regular 0 or 2). The fit is okay, but it's hard to move the hands up and around. I don't like the short sleeves, as they are almost 2 inches above the wrist; they'd look better if they hit the wrist. The petite sizes are good for kids or teenagers. I want to try the regular size of this blazer, but I am afraid the shoulders would be tight like in a petite. (5 2”, 34 B, 113lbs)
