The seaming gives it a shapely fit - it nips in at the waist where it should (a quality not easily found for the tall woman with an elongated torso.) The sleeves were even long enough. The dark purple color was a bit brighter than I'd expected, but it looks great with a simple white tee, black pant. The final thumbs-up came when I walked by a group of fashion students outside FIT in NYC, and they told me that they loved my jacket!
