The outfit fits alright as far as the hips, but the waiste is way too big, and it makes the bust look a bit baggy. The jacket fits real nice. I wouldn't wear the dress without the jacket because of the way the dress fits and looks.

The top of the dress was lose so it didn't look good under the jacket. The gray was lighter than expected and the whole suit just didn't look flattering on me like it did on the model in the catalog!

The first one in my typical size was too big so I exchanged it for the next size down and it fits perfectly. Both pieces can go with other outfits so it's an excellent buy for the price. The top-stitching and 4 buttons down the sleeve give it style. The fabric may not hold up very long but at least it doesn't look cheap.

4 Petite feels too big. I would recommend if you are petite to order the smaller size if you're between sizes. Nice design but not figure flattering enough for me, so I probably wouldn't wear it for a special occasion. I may keep it for a funeral though(black).
