So, I tried on the Robert Rodriguez jacket. Unfortunately, no one has told Robert Rodriguez that half of all American women are size 14 or larger. The largest size the jacket comes in is 12. Co-incidentally, that was the only one that had sold. So, I tried on the 10, which is probably generous in size since it is so expensive. It was too small, of course, but I could get a sense of it. The surprising thing is that the fabric of the jacket itself is not dressy. It is a very pedestrian beige fabric like you might have for an everyday out door type jacket. In my minds eye, I had been thinking it would be a white Satin, or even better, a silk moire. Also there is a large clunky, very casual looking brown button. The lace is a not bad machine lace that might be based on a white chantilly. I like the flounce, but I like the sleeve ruffles better. They really call to mind engageants. The cut of the jacket is such that it might be flattering to those with ample hips acquired as a result of many hours at the pillow. But where would you wear it? I was thinking it would be a dressy jacket that you could wear to a Christmas party or something. Instead it seems more like something you might wear while kicking around in blue jeans. But I can't quite see spending that kind of money on something so non-dressy, no matter how flattering. Also, for normal wear, you would have to be taking it to the cleaner all the time because it is very light in color. There is also an accordion pleated liner or support for the engageants, part of what makes them so elegant. But it would take an expert to iron them. Devon disappointed in New Jersey
