Perfect Denim Jacket?

11 replies

PolaDeVeboise · 14/05/2020 09:00

Hi guys, looking for recommendations for a denim jacket for someone size 18, with much boobage. I often find them bulky and wondering if anyone is aware of a 'lighter weight' one that wont add to my size?

I've recommended this before, but try the Ruth Langsford one from Qvc, it looks like a regular denim jacket but has quite a bit of stretch in it. I live mine.

Try bravissimo

I got one from Bravissimo last summer and love it.

Gone a bit lockdown mad and ordered a Ralph Lauren one from the JL website. Half price, but still a mad extravagance for me!

Thanks guys.

If the Ralph Lauren one is not right I can recommend one from M & Co. I was really surprised as I never shop there but I saw someone wearing one and it was really nice. I am a large boobed ample size 14 and it is very flattering.

I was looking at the Ruth Langsford denim jackets yesterday but for me it's too short .
I'm 53 and carry round my middle so I don't want to emphasise my lack of waist .
I have ordered an oversized denim jacket from M&S ( in the Per Una range , I was dubious but there doesn't appear to be any frill, tears,sequins,embroidery or added shit)

Longer length and straighter so not a true denim jacket IYSWIM.

I await its arrival.

How is the Ralph Lauren Pola

I carry all my weight around my middle too, yet that Ruth Langsford one is flattering as it sits in the middle of my biggest bit. Lovely over dresses, I'd give it a try.

My M&S arrived , it is really nice Grin If I bought a proper length jacket I'd have liked a dark indigo , but this one is a mid indigo which suits the length .

I read the reviews which said size down ( bloody vanity sizing ) and it is nice , I could've maybe gone down another size but only if I could try instore and I need enough shoulder room and length in my arms .

Pleased with it .

I'll look out for the RL twill jackets ( they do black and white )
