Because I'm almost 5 feet the pants were absolutely perfect for me. This outfit required no alterations for me, except the sleeves were a bit long.
However, beware this outfit was nice, but I preferred the solid stripped gray print better, because the truth is this outfit was not as pictured. This appears to be a hand knitted item, but to my surprise, this print was an illusion that was SCREEN PRINTED on the fabric, which completely cheatened the look. Nevertheless, rather than go through trying to go through the return process, I kept the merchandise.
The fabric appears to be pretty good, but I can not give a complete review until laundering.
Again the gray set with the strip is awesome!! The pants are much longer and fuller the set looks like a quality outfit that you would not be embarrassed to wear as a classy mature woman!
