I have previously reviewed it and regretted my decision to return it. So I hunted it down and rebought in 00. That's the smallest I could go. If you can, you should also try on two sizes down, though I think that might get too snug.
I can actually fit another coat under this one very easily. Or a person, like in the catalogue....
So the most important thing to make it work? Sleeve length. I have folded my sleeves in, in the pictures below. I will have them tailored thus, in order to keep it. Your thoughts?
the coat looks great! I did really like it on you before too! :) And trust me I have done my own share of returning something and few days later frantically calling my VPS to look for it nationwide! :)
ReplyDeleteI ordered this coat in black (it's back ordered till end of jan though). I am hoping the 0 will fit since I think I am little bigger than you on top. I typically where size 2 school boy and most of my jcrew coats are size 2 except for the cocoon and boyfriend melton coat. I think the coat looks so classy! btw: all the things you tried on for your blogs are the same items I have been looking at (ie the buffalo check jacket- i think i will pass on this one though). You have a great taste and I appreciate all your reviews!!!
Thx, Susan! Appreciate the affirmation and love getting feedback on my posts and outfits!
DeleteLOVE IT..... Carolyn
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Carolyn!
DeleteI loved this coat when I saw it with the rollout, but I've worried it is too much volume. It looks really nice on you, though, so I am re-thinking it (now that it's probably sold out, of course!). Thanks for the reviews!
