BeninosWomens Blazers 3/4 Sleeve Lightweight Office Work Blazer Jacket

This is gorgeous! I think maybe it runs a tiddley small, because when I bought it I weighed a bit more and it barely buttoned (though I probably wouldn’t wear it buttoned anyway). But I’ve since lost weight and it fits perfectly. Have not worn yet, because it’s summer in Florida, and cool evening outings won’t start for awhile. I have both white and navy shells I can wear with it.

Note: this review is for the white floral jacket. I purchased the black floral after buying the white and loving it but had to return the black. The white floral is a lovely jacket, even though it's obvious feeling the fabric that it's on the cheaper end. It's good enough quality it holds its shape and looks nice for the price. The black fabric, on the other hand, had a sheen to it that looked a bit like cheap satin next to my dress slacks. I'd probably be ok if you were wearing it with jeans but I wasn't buying it for that purpose.Right out of the package I was really impressed with the way this jacket was made. If you've ever had a garment where the seams don't lay flat, the armholes are crooked, etc. you'll appreciate this jacket. It's unlined in the back and sleeves but the seams are all finished. Nothing puckers or pulls oddly. It drapes well and has enough stretch to be comfy. The shoulder pads are perfect for me. Nice and thin. Inset so they don't slip. And overall makes the jacket look sharp. It is a cheaper polished poly fabric so you'll want to be careful not to lean up against a brick wall or wash it with velcro and zippers but I didn't have any snagging with normal wear. It's lighter weight than my winter blazers so I'm happy to have it for the price. I just wish the black worked too.

The cut of this jacket fits nice through the body, it is a little strange at the neck/shoulder area. It is very thin and lightweight, not lined. The sizing seems to be true. I am a 36DD and the large will just button and is snug. My daughter tried it on and it would not button, she is a 38DD. She is a couple of inches shorter than me, and maybe 5 pounds heavier and the jacket was flattering on both our body shapes. For reference I am 5’6, around 150 pounds.I hope this jacket holds it’s shape after laundering.

Love everything about this jacket.

Loved! Great quality, excellent fit, pattern/colors true to picture. Easily ironed.

The [white floral] blazer is esthetically eye catching. The white of the jacket is not a brilliant white nor is it dull as some reviews claim it to be. The [red] rose prints and navy blue design helps transition this bold piece from office blazer to anytime wear; pairable for alternative bottoms aside from dress trousers. It appears to be cut wide fitting (you know, that square shape look), but it really is form-fitting and flattering to most figures, esp if you can button it comfortably closed. It's not at all heavy; it has a mid light-weight feel to it. The blazer has very little stretch to it (despite what some reviews state), but that may be due to the fact it has lining inside. It has a good length, at least for my 5'3 stature. I'm not voluptuously shaped; I have an athletic build. In the above pics my weight had drastically dropped from 180lbs to 153lbs. My bust went from its normal 38DDD to 36DD and I still purchased a large instead of a medium. So here's where I'll explain why I gave the 3.8 star rating: It's the care or lack thereof in the stitch work. Example: clearly the sleeves were purposely constructed to to be short [to stop midway at the forearm] however, the sleeve underneath leading into the armpit lays awkwardly -- it feels a bit twisted under there. The shoulders are not quite lined evenly; and it doesn't help that it has shoulder pads creating a bulky feeling. How I combated those things to make it work for me, was to give the blazer a good steam ironing creating a relaxed fit. And although those things may not be visibly noticeable to the surveyor complimenting your style choice, wearing it, you feel the off-lined stitch work, and the bulkiness and awkwardness in movement. Overall, I like the blazer however, I would not purchase again.

This is my favorite blazer!

I was excited to get this jacket. Sadly, the color of the jacket I received (see pic) was much different than advertised. Whereas the amazon ad looks closer to turquoise, or tiffany blue, the actual color is a muddy light blue. Sad. Additionally, I purchased the small as it stated the circumference of the chest was close to 39" (I think it said 38.8 inches) which would be way too large, but I figured I could make it work. The jacket received had a half-circumference of 13", working out to a total chest circumference of 26". I could button it, but there was zero room to move. Though I was ok with the material, the person with me at the time stated it looked cheap and like something from that app that starts with an "S", and that she wouldn't have paid more than $10 for the jacket.Overall a disappointing purchase. I am thankful those are few and far between on Amazon.
