very disappointed esp. after reading other reviews, fabric seemed cheap and i usually wear talls but this jacket was long enough to be a not-so-short dress. I returned it immediately along with a linen blouse that was also very thin linen, more like an indian cotton fabric

Wore the suit all day and not a wrinkle in it. Sad the only color left was sage by the time I saw it. The sleeves were a bit short. Looks just as good without the jacket buttoned.

I use this as a suit or mix and match with other wardrobe pieces if I want to dress it up with a sequin top to party. I dress professionally and have this in almost every single color - skirt and pants I love it that much. I use the jacket separately sometimes with other pieces like jeans. It's comfortable in summer because it's light. It's perfect in Winter with turtlenecks or sweaters under. I like the feel of so much comfort it's like wearing your pajamas to work but classy enough to wear to a meeting with Donald Trump. Classy, trendy colors, comfortable beyond words, and watch for the sales, it's ridiculous how cheaply you can get one. I don't buy other suits any more. Just these now.

I wasn't overly impressed with the quality of this suit - it looks like a cheap polyester suit - the sizing runs on the smaller side compared to the other suits that I have ordered from Jessica London and it certainly isnt the quality that I have come to expect.

Good Suit, sizing did not match chart
By Carol the cyclistVerified Purchaser from Houston, Texas on 7/4/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Surprisingly good quality, Surprising qualityprice, Versatile

Fit did not match chart, For a truly tall person
Best Uses:

The overall quality and look of this suit were quite pleasing for the price. I more often shop at Talbot's Outlet for suit items, and am a trained tailor, but no longer find it a cost effective use of my resources to sew.

I will try to give info that will help others get the right size the first time as rejects and returns add to unnecessary costs and make online shopping a less attractive choice than it could be with accurate and useful information beyond the "I like it" variety of comment.

I am 51,5'9, 270-280 lbs. long waisted and average length inseam depending on the quality style and cut from 22W 29" inseam (Talb**ts) to 22W- 24W & 30 1/2" inseam (L**ds E*d).

In ordering less expensive items online from womens large size specialty companies, I have often found that they run quite short in torso length and in inseam length so that I cannot even wear the pants with flats.

NOT SO WITH THIS ITEM.

According to the size chart and my measurements I should wear a 28WT. The 28WT was not available, so I ordered a 26WT. That was a start in the right direction. The 26 part was a good fit. The Tall really meant TALL. The jacket could have been a dress for me! (Not a common experience for me!! lol) and the pants were maybe a good 6 inches too long!!! Amazing!! Far longer in overall proportion than would even be alterable into a good result. So for all you actually TALL women out there (unlike me, just tallish) this could be an excellent choice.

I will send mine (pumpkin- nice color for year 'round here in southeast Texas) back and keep trying to find a regular 26W in pumpkin and other hot weather suitable colors for an "autumn" like me, at a bargain price with which to replace it.

I went by the size chart. the chart had me ordering 2 sized larger. the suit fit in the waist but was 2 sizes too big otherwise. It felt like the pant lining would be too small if I ordered a smaller size. It is great to find tall pants, wish it had fit.

I was looking for a summer weight, but with the lining in this suit, it makes it too warm for summertime. Lining sticks to your legs. But I love the fact that its a suit with pockets. Great value for the price.
