Love Love Love!! So comfortable.
I wore this jacket so much before weather turned cold. It is a stretchy comfortable fabric and fits so well. And, I agree that picture does not do it justice.

WITH STUDS A GLOWING MAKES A JACKET SO GLORIOUS
This jacket at first looks fairly simple with the studs square and round and in various length rows. But when you wear this out, those rows of studs just glow as the lights of wherever you are or even the street lights bounce off the studs in shiny silver, the lights everywhere when you go out, bounce off of those studs and make them glow. The jacket is a Ponte type knit that has a certain weight to it so it hangs just perfectly. Then the buttons on the cuffs of the sleeves are Bob’s signature buttons that also are silver as is the zipper. In other words, this all adds up to a lovely jacket. It fits perfectly, and is fitted nicely to show off a nice figure even if you don’t have a nice figure, which I don’t; because of the princess seams. Then, of course, in the princess seams are pockets, my all time favorite. I love pockets in anything. Now back to the studs, they also line the collar which is a type of shirt collar but is even with the zipper, so leave the zipper down a bit and let the collar hang open; that way the studs glow off the front as well as the collar makes this jacket so glorious. The drawing or pictures they use to show the items have changed so they are out of proportion so those drawings don't do justice to these new items. By the way, I got the purple, because the dark navy didn’t look like blue at all, so I went with the purple. The purple is a dark purple which is a bluish purple but still beautiful. Yes I most heartily recommend this jacket. It looks beautiful on, it’s practical, a nice weight, and those studs may look ordinary, but trust me, once you wear it, you’ll find there is nothing ordinary in this jacket. Bob Mackie has a title known as the “Sultan of sequins or the Rajah of rhinestones”; he is in no danger of losing that title. It fit’s even when he is designing for us ordinary people. We may not be walking into places like, “The Tavern on the Green”, but his designs still have glamour about them that I take great pride in owning. I mean, think of it: You are wearing a Bob Mackie, winner of so many awards I have lost count and nominated for even more. He has designed for people whose names, everybody has heard of and the only place in the world that you can buy a Bob Mackie is on QVC. Now it is true, that when I tell some people, after getting a compliment, that what she was complimenting was a Bob Mackie, they comment that they have no idea who that is, you (I) want to scream at them that: Don’t you ever watch TV?, have you never looked at QVC?, Have you ever read a newspaper? Who is Bob Mackie? He is only the best known and most talented Costume Designer known to man! However, you can’t do that. All I can do is tell them to watch QVC and they will learn who Bob Mackie is. But that is not the normal. Most people know who he is and of course they know who QVC is. So my point is, if for no other reason to buy this jacket is because it’s a Bob Mackie is reason enough. So thank you Bob Mackie. I am proud to own any and all of your designs. Because truth is at this point, I do own most all of your jackets and most of your Cardigans and take great pride in that. The only thing that would make me happier is to actually speak to you. One of these days, will be my turn. Thank you Bob Mackie, your fan: Candy

Darling Jacket
I love this navy jacket. Its a great fit (1x) and is very comfortable. The silver tone decoration gives it just the right amount of glitz, especially aroung the collar. It also washes well. I machine washed it inside out in a mesh bag in cold water and hung to dry. My only comment is the picture on line does not do this jacket justice. I viewed the jacket on line and passed on purchasing. It was not until I saw it on TV that I decided to own it. I hope QVC puts up a more flattering picture. Meanwhile watch the video.
