Congrats. Did you get the skirt too?
How was the fit true to size or cropped?
Hugs
It has hidden clasps as a closure. HTH
I didn't order the skirt. I think for Lesage it's a bit more generous than usual---in my experience Lesage is often quite small relative to the size. Consequently I ordered a size larger than I usually take. I'm happy with how it fits but it could have been smaller. The shoulders are also a bit wide. I didn't think it was very cropped (like for example the silk crepe jacket).
Ah so you already got your size. That's great. With the delays on Metiers I had thought they would be super late with cruise too. Congratulations!
Congrats @kipp !! This is my favorite jacket of the collection and I’m sure will look beautiful on you! By the way, have your other pieces come back yet from alterations? I remember you posting they were taking a long time.
wow - would love to see mod shots of how it looks on! i like the balance of the black and white in the jacket so neither colour dominates! Lovely tweed
Definitely agree that jackets are running a touch on the big side. First, the pink with black trim, OMG what can I say. My SA could not rip off the plastic fast enough. You ladies know this is my color and this jacket is gorgeous and a classic one for the ages for sure.
Reserved my regular size 36 and it was big, my beloved seamstress and I were mentally altering it and when it is done it will be fantastic. Needs shoulder work, sleeve shortening and some other minor fixes but CHF off the charts for me on this one!
Also tried the KS/Sophia II- ran big in my size. Like Pigleto said, GORGEOUS fabric, the white lining so elegant and the buttons- all stunning. However, it was boxy and short on me and although it is VERY classic Chanel, I am unsure about this one for me primarily because of the fit.
I tried on the black jacket Look 8 WOW!! This one was a surprise. My SA conveniently placed this one in the dressing room and didn't say anything (I did not reserve it). I have learned this is her code for making a "suggestion" lol!. Ladies, the fit was AMAZING, took 20 years off my looks in an instant. Great narrow shoulders, slim sleeves gives a beautiful hourglass figure without being vulgar, just incredible. So, that was enough to pivot me away from the KS jacket. This jacket also comes with a collar version and in some different colors. Will decide which version but this is a keeper for me. Also looking forward to the shorter version of this (no fringe) and I suspect if the fit is as terrific as the long version I will get one of those too.
Some beautiful knits, I am getting a open stitch white cashmere with black trim (classic cardigan style) so lightweight, soft and COMFORTABLE. My store only had a bit to show me but I had about 4 SA's in the dressing room with me as it was the first try ons they had seen. It was so fun! However, I could not photograph. Going back this upcoming weekend for fittings and will take pictures then.

Can’t wait to see the pics !!! Hehe. Sounds like loads of fun. I tried the open stitch cardi too and agree it’s very soft and lightweight. ❤️
snowball, how long is the jacket? I have it reserved for me, but I'm a little concerned about the length, judging from the runway pictures. Did they change the length for girls with normal height?
Thank you for this run down of looks. All look very promising. looking forward to your pictures!
