I was recently offered the opportunity to try out a new piece of clothing from the online clothing retailer FDAvenue. There’s a really large selection of clothing to choose from. I loved some of the dresses, but my legs don’t come out on public display very often, so I went for a safer option! I’ve been getting a bit braver with patterns this year, as you may have noticed. I decided to go for the FDAvenue Floral Print Blazer in Baby Blue. I know it’s got blue in it, you know me!
I’m quite small, and am between an 8-10 up top, so to be on the safe side I ordered a size 10. There are two delivery options; next day or standard first class mail. My floral print blazer arrived quickly, it was in a really small package, so could fit through my letterbox. I was concerned that it would be badly creased when I unwrapped it, but no, as soon as I hung it up, it was fine. It’s made from 95% polyester/5% Elastine which obviously helps.
The floral print blazer is great for this time of year, it has 3/4 length sleeves, and the polyester means it will keep you warmer than cotton on a cloudy day! I thought the floral print was bright and perfect for a holiday.
I only have one problem with this floral print blazer. The sizing. To me it feels on the small side for a size 10, it’s ok to wear unless I want to do the button up. Then it really does feel too small, it doesn’t sit as well as it’s designed to.
But it’s a new retailer to me, and I appreciate that sizes vary from store to store. I’d been tempted to order the size 8, just as well I didn’t. But that issue aside, it’s well made and would be a good buy at £19.99.

That’s a pretty pattern and does look lovely on you, perfect for the summery weather that keeps trying to make an appearance!
Yes, where is that sun!
Love the pattern, and the colour is lovely and summery a good choice.
Thanks 🙂
That blazer looks lovely on you – It’s a shame about the sizing, I bet you’re glad you didn’t get an 8! x
Yes, the 8 would have been difficult, I’m sure one of my nieces would have been pleased though!
That’s really pretty and suits you. It doesn’t look too small on the photos, however, I know what it is like when you aren’t comfortable in something.
Thanks, I do like it, but won’t wear it done up 🙂
They look nice!
I think you look lovely. I never go for prints like that.
It is very pretty and definitely suits you!
Thanks
