For the past 90 days, I've been wearing the Gracequeens high-end fancy forest animal print vintage blazer suit. This is my full experience, from unboxing to its current condition. I started out a bit doubtful, but here's how my perspective evolved.
The blazer arrived in secure packaging. My immediate reaction was, "This is certainly a statement piece!" The forest animal print is bold and eye-catching. I was concerned it might appear tacky, but the fabric had a pleasantly substantial feel. The buttons are robust, and the overall build quality looked promising. There was, however, a faint odor, as if it had been in storage.
I tried it on immediately. The fit was slightly snug, even though I ordered my usual size. I suspect sizing up would have provided a more comfortable feel. The gold color is vibrant, and the print detailing is intricate.
Verdict: Pleasantly surprised by the initial quality, though sizing and the storage smell were minor concerns. I let it air out overnight.
I wore the blazer out for the first time a few days later. It absolutely attracted attention! I paired it with a simple black dress to let the blazer stand out. I noticed the fabric tends to wrinkle easily, so I had to be mindful of how I sat. The odor had mostly faded after airing it out.
The snug fit continued to be slightly uncomfortable, and I found myself adjusting it during the day. I also spotted a couple of loose threads, which I trimmed carefully. For the price point, I had hoped for slightly better quality control. Doing your research is essential! Before buying unique items like this, looking at real customer photos and reviews can reveal common issues like sizing or loose threads, helping you make a more informed choice.
Verdict: The blazer is undeniably stylish, but the fit and tendency to wrinkle are drawbacks. It requires steaming before each wear. Consider ordering a size up.
I began integrating the blazer into my regular rotation. It works best for special occasions or when I want to add a vibrant touch to a simple outfit. I've received numerous compliments. The GraceQueens Quality is evident when people see the details up close. This piece makes a definite statement.
I also tried washing it. Following the care instructions meticulously, I hand-washed it in cold water. It took a long time to dry and required ironing to smooth out the wrinkles. Thankfully, the color showed no signs of fading.
