However, sizing runs large - one customer noted their size 8 was too big despite accurate measurements. Shoppers recommend sizing down for a proper fit.

Beautiful!

I was unsure which size to order as I have a smaller waist, but I’m glad I ordered the larger size to fit my bust/hips as the advice was absolutely correct about it being very fitted. I feel amazing in this suit and will be getting plenty of wear out of it once the weather gets cooler!

Marylin Vibe!

Tried at first as soon as it arrived, the fit makes me feel like I'm in the movie Niagara.
Also love the details of this jacket.
I bought the matching pencil skirt too in both uk 10.
Thrilled to have this suit!

Lovely but a bit large

The jacket is lovely and well done, it really has a vintage look, BUT the sizing is a bit wrong: I ordered a size 8 and although I'm a 34 (bust) and 26.5 (waist), it's way too large, both at the waist and the chest. I'll try to have it mended by a seamstress, so that it's really a snug fit.
Please, be more accurate in the measurments for each garment on your website!

Great cut and well made

I received my jacket today. It's well made and I look forward to wearing it. It's summer here in Australia so I'll have to wait but it's hard to find a good vintage style jacket and I didn't want to miss out on this.

Stunning

I have the Niagra suit in Teal and treated myself to it in Wine for a new job. It is equally as stunning. Please make the jacket to match all the colour pencil skirts!

STUNNING

This jacket is stunning, so well constructed and a perfect match for the skirt. I will be buying the wine version as soon as funds allow. Please make it in every colour to match all the pencil skirts!
