Jersey blazers for petites

[Bedofroses85]

Hi,
I'm petite, about 5 ft and would really like a well fitting, good quality jersey blazer.
I've seen this which has really good reviews but don't know if it'll be too long?

Have any of you petite mumsnets got it it or can recommend another option?

Thanks :)

I have this blazer and love it.I'm a lot taller than you so it might be too long in the sleeves for you

I also have this blazer, and love it. Give it a go, wasn't something I thought I would suit but was really glad I tried it.

Thanks so much, it's really good to know :)

I have this but can’t remember how it fits as I have not read it in a while. If you have a John Lewis near you then you could try it on in whatever colour they have and then order the colour you want, providing they have a Whistles concession.

The only petite fit that is actually correct for sleeves IMO is Boden. Does Boden have anything similar? Their petites are very well cut

Otherwise I buy jackets like this and wear them with the sleeves rolled

IME the Whistles jersey blazers are quite short in the body and the sleeves are very easy to shorten, no buttons or cuffs.

Thanks, I’ll have a look at boden and might order one from Whistles to try. But I don’t think I’d keep it if it needs altering as it’s quite a lot of money already!

Unfortunately the only option at Boden seems a more oversized style which doesn’t suit me.

Whistles might even offer the alteration, I'm sure they did for trousers.
They are great little blazers, I would really recommend trying one

I have this and I'm 5'2 - length-wise it's perfect but I do have the sleeves folded over.

I am constantly trawling eBay for petite blazers in my size, most of the current petite ranges are limited or poor quality. It's a challenge.

Reiss do a petite range and their blazer is v good albeit a slightly longer fit than I would like. But is cut as a petite fit

I've just took mine back, I'm petite 5ft2 size 10 and I found the sleeves too long and too wide, I like a slim sleeve not bulky.

Thanks all so much, I’ve ordered it in 2 colours to try. Will also have a look at Reiss petite, thanks for the hint :)

I was going to say Whistles before I opened the thread.

I am also five foot and have this jacket. I turn the cuffs in once to shorten them slightly and don't think it's noticeable. I'm tempted by the lilac!
