The material and fit are great. I bought my usual size S and wore this with a skirt and tank, and it looked sharp and comfortable. I'm 5'4" and wear a 34D.
I think the title says it all. The fabric, color, and design of the jacket are all very nice, but the XS had room for another person inside it with me. I will unfortunately have to return it.

Love this suit
Everything at the Limited fits me well and so does this jacket. It's comfortable and light while still having good quality. It's a classic look that matches well with a lot of different shirts. Overall great jacket.
I wish they offered this jacket in more colors. I love the cut and length of the jacket. The jacket has an overall sliming effect. Plus, most jackets I need to order one to two sizes larger due to my bust size. Not the case with this jacket.

My favorite suit
I'm 5'4", 120lbs, and 32DD. The only reason I mention this is I normally have to buy shirts a size or two up from what I would if I wasn't so big busted. However, I really didn't need to with this jacket. The shoulders and bust fit perfectly, I just had it tailored a little around the waist. Even without alterations though, it's a sharp looking jacket. The sleeves are a great length too. It's refreshing to not be wearing full length all the time. To me it's perfect if you want something that isn't as formal as an entirely black suit, but the fabric still looks very professional. I'm also really pale and some greys wash me out, but I got lots of compliments on this one. The fabric also breathes really well so it works for pretty much any time of year.
I originally bought the pants without the jacket, and then bought it when it was on sale for super cheap. The pants are the Drew fit which are perfect for me because I'm slender. The pants were also true to size and I think they're really flattering. But it's important to note that the fit itself isn't right for everyone. It seems that the Cassidy fit is better for women who are gifted with the hips that I am not.
Overall, I love this suit. It's almost always my first choice.
I'll review this suit as a whole, since the unbelievable sale this weekend prompted me to purchase this lovely suit! The fabric is a really wonderful take on a gray suit, and it has a cool sheen to it (kind of like a sliver, but not tacky). I'm 5'8, 140lbs, 36B and the small suit jacket fit perfectly. I felt sleek and slender wearing it, and the button hit just below my bustline and I felt this jacket cinched my waist and didn't broaden my shoulders. Additionally, I even like the three fourths sleeves, which are really flattering! I think the material is just light enough to be versatile for the summer and the cooler months! Very feminine! I do wish that the suits came in the three different fits, but I gave these Drew pants a try (I -love- the Cassidy fit pants, and I don't necessarily think the fits are as easy as being a 4 in Lexie, a 6 in Cassidy, and an 8 in Drew). Since I am a 6 in the Cassidy fit, I tried an 8 for these pants. They were very tight, so I went up to a 10. The fit was much better through the waist, seat, and the front of the pants looked really great. The only problem is the excess material between the seat of the pants and the back of my knees, that is the only area where the pants actually look a little too big. This wasn't too much of a problem for me, I didn't think it looked completely unflattering, and a complete suit for 50 bucks is a steal. At 5'8 I plan on letting these regular length pants out so that I can wear heels with hem. I highly recommend this suit, particularly if you normally wear the Drew fit pants.
This jacket is made well and fits true to The Limited's fit in jackets. I really like the length of this jacket too! The fabric has a subtle sheen that sets it apart from your average grey blazer.
This also goes great with the limited black pants. Makes for a fun/versatile piece to have. Love 3/4 sleeve to pair an accessory too.

Love this jacket!
I got this suite and I absolutely L.O.V.E. this jacket! I can use it with other pants, even jeans! And create a chic look. I like to use color tops and this grey color makes the colors pop up. If I'm doing something after work, I just change the accessories. My bf always tells me that I look pretty when I have this on. :)
The fit, color and style of this suit jacket are awesome! I bought the pants that go with it and wear this suit to work ALL the time. The quality of both the pant and the jacket are excellent - unlike some suits, they don't stretch out or lose their shape. I highly recommend this suit.
