Jacob sizing

I bought a white jacket at Jacob in a size 5/6.
I find that while it fits just fine around, I'm kinda troubled about it's length, it's kinda short, in a way that it makes it look like I should get a size bigger. I tried on the 7/8 but it only makes the jacket less close-fitting, it's not really longer. A girl in my class has clothes like that, like they'd look nice if it were only longer, her clothes look like they don't fit but they do. (You know what I mean?)

What should I do?
Should I go back and exchange for the 7/8, or keep the 5/6? I think in a 5/6 it's really cute, but in a 7/8 it doesn't look special.

I just don't think that the jacket fits your body type. Like it would better on people with a shorter torso. I say return it and try to find a better jacket. It's the Stacy and Clinton in me.

Yeah, I think you're right.
I thought about it, and I think I bought it a bit too fast.
It was $125, so I should return it. I think I'll wait and buy a Wilfred coat instead.

Thanks for the advice!
