It looks great on you! I need to shorten my sleeves too but wasn’t sure if a normal tailor can do it - is it quite an easy job? Thanks!
Balmain Double breasted blazer help

I ordered this Balmain blazer earlier this week. Great Luisviaroma sale!If it doesn't fit, I'll have to go on a raw spinach diet because I'm not sending it back!
Thanks so much. But when it arrived 2 weeks ago, it didn't fit. I wear a size 6 and so I ordered a 6. But I couldn't even button the blazer closed and that was the largest size available.Lol, I hope it fitsit is gorgeous
But did I give up? No! I got on the floor and started doing sit ups, crunches, leg kicks and pushups.
Two weeks later:
I still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there. Then I'll have to have the arms shortened.
I get a lot of my Balmain intel (sales, fit, mod shots, etc) from Youtuber Sophie Shohet:Has anyone the blazer with tre front buttons in size 34 and can share som modelling shots?
Thanks so much! But the arms are still a little tight. I still have about 10 more pounds to lose. I think you have to be skin and bones to fit in Balmain!
If you look at the photos I posted above of Youtuber Sophie Shohet, she looks absolutely amazing in Balmain blazers, Yet she says in one of her videos that she went into Balmain to purchase her first blazer and an SA told her she was too fat for Balmain.
That's right. Her waist looks so much smaller than mine, but we wear the same size.
Well, if you had asked me 15 years ago for modeling shots of a size 34, I would have volunteered. But I've had way too much chocolate since then! (LOL)
yes..i actually saw that youtube video...what a horrible experience. those SA were horrible
i got the 36.."looks" okay...but the shoulders are too stiff for me too. for normal activities it's okay but not when i try to sit at my desk and work. i could go up a size but i always hate a fitted blazer looks too big on a person. so i chose to "suffer"....lol
Don't worry dear, we all must suffer for fashion from time-to-time.
That Balmain blazer looks absolutely SPECTACULAR on you! I'm still doing my sit ups, hoping to eventually squeeze into mine in blue. I've gained weight again since I took the above photo in June.
In the meantime, I've also purchased this one from Net a Porter:

Thanks sweetie
it is a little tighter now compare to my first pics when I bought it last year. More chocolate and more menopause I suppose 
I LOVE this you just got
