Marie Marot X J.Crew blazer in stretch velvet

This blazer is gorgeous. Lots of nice detail. It fit a little snug, but that's okay as I purchased it on sale. I cannot wait to wear it! Overall rating was a 4 because of the sizing.

This might be my favorite blazer from J.Crew to date! The buttons do look even richer in real life, as do the colors. Cannot wait to pair this with denim, t-shirt, and boots for a fancy workday office look -- or with a skirt for a night out! Size-wise, typically a size 6 J.Crew blazer has the perfect amount of room on me, and it does here, too. (5'5, 36B, 130lbs) Tl;dr TTS! Wouldn't have gone larger at all, but then again, sometimes the size 6 in J.Crew blazers I buy have a bit more room. I'd recommend sticking with your normal size unless you already wear blazers fairly tight, in which case, perhaps size up.

I love this blazer. It looks exactly like the picture and goes well with the sequin skirt. Quality, sharp and classic. The only thing that I would disagree with from J Crew is that the blazer run large. It’s actually feels like it runs small compared to the J Crew blazers , even with the stretch. I’m glad I was able to get and order my true size.

I’m keeping it, but contrary to other reviews, I feel it runs a little short and slightly snug. I typically wear a 6 or 8 in J Crew blazers, depending on the cut, sometimes I opt for a tall (I’m 5’7”). I ordered this in a 8, because 6 was not available and am really thankful it’s not any smaller. I’d even have opted for a 8 tall, if offered. I feel it’s a little snug in the upper arms (not unusual for me as my upper arms are slightly muscular for my frame) and the length and hip area are also a bit too snug for my preference. The buttons are nicer than they look in the photos. I was worried they would look gaudy, but they actually are a nice touch due to the quality of the button. It’s lovely and I look forward to wearing it.
