Have doubts about jacket I just bought...

I have just bought this jacket. I thought bargainous and would be good with both my dresses/ tights combo and my jeans. I am size 14, and 5"8 but have very long legs.

My sis says it's too short, but I thought fitted would be flattering?

I think it's a nice jacket and it's not that short?

I think it's ok . It's not too short for jeans . Asos do free returns anyways .Smile

Thanks! I didn't think it was too short. DH bought me a Merrell Wakefield for Xmas, that's long enough for every day.

I'm in Ireland so the returns aren't free unfortunately, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I think jackets either need to be over the arse/ on the waist or above the arse. well, they do if you have a gargantuan arse like me. Shorter jackets work better on me as long as they sit at my waist. More flattering.

I cast no aspersions on the size of your arse, Goth!

Bargain!

Sorry posted too soon!

It doesn't look too short to me - it sits just above the models bum and she would be the same height, if not taller, than you

Bargainous jacket - good find OP!

Nice length. Flattering even. Possible chunky neck line / collar though and the synthetic lining would put me off, personally. 100% leather though, great price for that. It will smell lovely :)

Thanks all! Feeling slightly loads better now!

I was dithering about the synthetic lining, I'm hoping it will be warm (so stylish, me).

I'm sure it's just peachy, Goth

You should report back when it arrives, let us know what it was really like.

GrownupGoth · 11/01/2013 17:27

And sooo... 'tis luffly. Looks fantastic with jeans but crappola with my dresses.

Grown - I bought the very same jacket Grin and 'tis lovely - goes with pretty much everything! It was a bargain!

bishboschone · 12/01/2013 09:37

I think jackets need to be more cropped and sort of smaller to be worn with dresses.

GrownupGoth · 12/01/2013 16:00

Oh, glad someone else has it!

I'll be on a dress jacket hunt now... I have a nice fitted blazer from h&m, so something like that but leather?
