Really cute - but too short and boxy for slim shapes
The North Face Flash Summit Series Down Jacket - Women's
February 21, 2008
The jacket is gorgeous and very lightweight but I was disappointed in the fit. It really looks great in person, I was so excited when I got it but I had assumed from the photo it would have a slightly fitted or feminine shape and that was not the case for me. Since I'm an athletic/narrow framed 5'6'' (125 lbs, size 0 or 2) I ordered an XS. The shoulders fit nicely but it was really wide through the mid section, almost a bell shape and to add to the unflattering lines it barely hit at my hips - my lower back would completely stick out ifI biked to campus in it. Weirdly, it was also too roomy in the upper arms - as a former gymnast and pole vaulter who lifts weights frequently I normally never have that problem! That said: it is a gorgeous jacket and I'm envious of those who can wear it, I'm thinking it would look better on women with more feminine or hour-glass like figures than myself.
