The jacket is fitted nicely, not that 80's boxy, but the shoulders are way beyond what I expected. Still, it's $100 suit basically, it might round out the assortment reasonably enough. meant to add, the shoulders are a bit strongly padded though so it does give a dated feel to me, not sure if I will keep it .

I'm 5'6" and it was not short on me. I can't recall if it was at the knee or slightly above, but I do recall that I wasn't horrified at the length, because I almost bought it. Hope that helps!

I'm only 5'3", and the models are probably at least 5'7". The measurements are more important than the photos. For me the short skirts usually don’t turn out to be that short on me.

But I have a hesitancy about buying anything that short. Even if it might look okay this year, will it look okay next year? Also, a very short suit skirt tends to suggest the manufacturer was scrimping on fabric, doesn't it? I don't want to use the ch--- word, though. Colored suits are great, purple is the greatest.

There are a lot of great choices out there in deep and royal purple shades. Plus, I ordered the purple Tahari suit (with the brooch embellishment) featured by C last week, and it just arrived, and I am in love with it. =) For some reason, I too am just loving purple everything this year.

Nude just seems to accent my pasty, pasty legs. Would you do black? Can anyone help me out on what color hose to wear with a purple suit. Nude just seems to accent my pasty, pasty legs.
