Bought pink & black. Both fit the same. Sleeves are a tiny bit long, but okay to keep my hands warm in cooler weather. Not for COLDER weather. I have removed the buttons as they are ugly. You will need to sew the ones you want to keep. They are loose and likely to fall off soon after wearing. Overall, nice buy.

I ordered this jacket last year in washed chocolate from the Redcat family of LaRedoute. I absolutely love it! When I saw it on Chadwick's on sale I jumped at the chance to own it in another color (rose). The color is nice and soft-looking but again Chadwick's sent me a product in a different material than stated in the product description. It is not as soft and plush as my brown one. Now, if you didn't know the difference you might be very happy with owning this jacket as it has many other pluses, style and comfort at the top of the list.

I love the styling on this blazer. While the buttons may be a bit much for some, the seams and outline are very, very flattering. If you have something to hide in your middle, it will hide it. If you are curvy, it will flaunt it. Friends will covet it.

Very happy with the comfort and quality of the blazer. Was not at all happy with how long it took to reach me. I didn't think it was ever going to come and almost gave up and was about to call customer service to request a refund. The jacket is well worth it though-very cheeky.

Great jacket that is versatile and stylish. The only jacket I have that has ease of movement so I can wear while driving. It seams to be high quality and should last years. The only issue was that the sleeves were very long, which is unusual. Normally, sleeves are short on me. But the great price allowed the alterations and I feel like I still got a bargain.

This blazer fits very well and looks very cute and stylish. I've only worn it once, but I got a lot of compliments on it. In Houston, you never know what the weather will do. One minute it's cool and the next it's hot. It's perfect for those days where you want to wear layered clothes.

I bought black, Small. Fits great. The velvet is decent. It is soft. Hopefully it will not shrink. The worst thing about this jacket are the buttons. They are big and ugly and lots of them. 3 on the cuffs, 3 in the middle of the backside and in front as shown in picture. I will replace them with better looking buttons or remove some entirely. But not bad for the buy.
