Fit great, good price, and fast shipping for a last minute NYE dinner
Let me start by saying that I had very low expectations, all I truly cared about was getting something “blingy” as fast as possible for a last minute New Years Eve dinner. I was impressed by the speed of arrival, price & floored by the quality. Now of course, this is NOT a tailored $300 jacket, but it was great for our evening. Did not shed any sequins, no problems with wrinkles, and didn’t have any weird smells. My husband said it was comfortable, and he plans to wear it again should the need arise.

Classy but stands out!
I bought this jacket for my teen son for homecoming and it was perfect! It was a great fit and the look was just as pictured. I have purchased several things from this seller for formal events and highly recommend them!

Not what I ordered!
Color: Silver, Size: XX-Large, Color: Silver, Size: XX-Large
I ordered this jacket for my boyfriend for New Years. Not only did it not fit according to the size chart (too small). It was nothing like what was pictured on the listing. The sequins were very light and cheaply sewn on. And the lining and button were WHITE! Not black as pictured. I have never had a problem with anything I ordered from Amazon until now. I returned it and was refunded. But, now have to find a different jacket. NOT HAPPY.
