It surpassed my expectations! Bought for my 36 -year-old daughter as she is very fussy about quality and knowing that everything you make is of the highest standard, I had no doubts that this would live up to my expectations. And I wasn't wrong. As soon as you feel the weight you know that you are holding a substantial fabric. Arm length is perfect, the fit is perfect. Just the right length. A beautiful jacket made to the highest standards. (And so lovely, I also have the cream coloured one!)
