Beautifully Made, Lovely Details, Careful if Long waisted

Review by Dawn

The fabric is slightly darker to my eye than pictured, but is a lovely charcoal with subtle herringbone weave. The fabric has a nice hand, weight, and drape. The garment is constructed beautifully (as usual for IGIGI) with careful sewing and real lining (not flaps or interfacing), and a real self belt loop (not like the thin piece of crocheted thread you often see elsewhere). The silvertone belt buckle is not just some generic buckle but has a real style to it. Love the draping lapels! I've seen jackets that try to be professional and stylish for plus size that cost as much or more and just *do not* measure up in quality to this one. I am 5' 7" and somewhat long waisted, and so found the jacket was unfortunately a little too short to look quite right on me, and sadly had to send it back. It is really lovely though!

Professional yet fun

IGIGI has such a way with wrap designs! At first I wasn't sure about the fit, since I am very short-waisted. But after finding the right tightness for the wrap belt and wearing the jacket for a while, it felt and looked perfect.

I love the details of this jacket! The hot pink lining is a sweet little secret inside the professional exterior. The draped and folded collar is a lovely touch as well.

I usually hate artificial fibers, but like my other IGIGI purchases, the fabric is high-quality and has a nice feel and drape. In future I would like to see for lighter-weight yet crisp professional wear, since I live in Southern California!
