Pretty AttitudeWomens Black Brocade Gothic Steampunk Floral Jacket Coat – Size US 12

It's a slightly tight even for a large (I am a medium; sizes 6/8 and this large is slightly too tight). I guess size large is small for us Cuban gals, while it is huge for Asians. Anyways it's not too overly tight, just two inches of weight loss, which is why I brought it, and it should fit just right. Looks amazing and I love the material. As what other reviewers had stated, the sleeves are way too long for the size of the coat. I am not bothered by it. I think it gives it that sorcerers' appeal to the look. However, when I go to work I do a quick sew to shorten the sleeve ends, using a sewing technique that doesn't show the thread, so that when I want the sorcerers' look again I just unthread the seams I created and waa-laa flapping kimono sleeves. :) The quick sewing technique is just under 3 minutes, so sewing softly, but fast wouldn't harm the fabric. I also think the long sleeves may be due to the fact that the coat is worn loose due to the shoulder area being too tight, which elongate the sleeves further. If the coat fitted right at the shoulders the sleeve would pull upright as they should and be at the proper length. The material/fabric feels very durable. Well worth the price. I've seen this same coat on ebay for over hundred bucks. The contrast of satin and other materials gives it an Asian appeal to it too. Very lovely and flattering for us gals who want to exaggerate our curvy waistline.

This is really a gorgeous coat. I love it. As far as sizing, it runs quite small so order UP. I'm 5'7" and 124 lbs. (on the slender side) and an XL fits me perfectly. According to the tag, it's a USA 12. I normally wear an 8. The only reason the coat fits me as expected is because I read the other reviews about how small it runs and adjusted accordingly. The ties in the back can be very helpful in adjusting the fit.Regardless of the reviews that state the coat is extremely lightweight - I think it's really a decent weight. The fabric is not thin. It has some body to it and the coat is fully lined. I was pleasantly surprised by the weight when I took it out of the package because I didn't expect it to be as heavy as it is.The only things that were a bit of a turn off are - it was very wrinkled and there is no care tag attached. I ironed it on the right side using the cotton setting with steam and it turned out great. I had to take a chance on the setting as I couldn't wear it the way it was. It really should have a care tag.Overall - I adore this coat and will wear it often. It's extremely attractive.

It was a bit small for an XL and I'm returning it. I'm 5'5 and a size 14 with 38DD breasts. This jacket fit but wouldn't quite close over my chest. It fit around my waist but not the hips or chest.However, if they had a 2X in stock I would reorder in a heart beat.It looked and felt great. The material was a soft satin and felt sturdy. It was mildly heavy in a good way. Worth the money, just sad it didn't fit.

I do love the style of this coat, but the sleeves are a bit oddly shaped where they connect to the torso. Despite getting a size much too large, it still feels like I'm going to pull the sleeves apart when I cross my arms or move them forward. Rather than get yet another size larger, which would drown me and still likely not solve the problem, I am going to just re-tailor the sleeves professionally. I really do love how the rest of the coat fits, and how it looks on me overall, but the sleeves are just poorly designed.Otherwise, the construction of the coat is very well done. The materials are solid, the buttons seem to be very well attached, and the overall look is stunning. It has a very androgynous feel to it, which is what I was looking for, while still largely using a lot of feminine materials. There are plenty of extra buttons, which usually doesn't happen with a lot of clothing anymore, even though I don't suspect I'll need them for some time.There's a more feminine version of the coat that my fiancee got herself, so we can have a sort of matching, but distinctly different look from one another. It's very exciting and I'm quite happy aside from having to fix the sleeve issue.

I really like this jacket. I think it is made well enough for the price and it looks great. However, if you are a lady who has been blessed with "ample tracts of land" you may want to reconsider the size you order it in. I ordered this in an XL, knowing that the girls needed some extra cargo space, and it really didn't deliver. The XL fits like a normal American Medium, I tend to wear a large, because... boobs... but I'll need to reorder this in a 2XL or even possibly a 3XL. I'm not a little by any means, but I certainly don't normally wear plus sized clothes. So Ladies, be aware. I don't want to run you off from this, because I'm looking forward to getting a size that does fit correctly. Just don't let it give you a complex.
