It is hard to carry off a coat that big, a smaller size might be the trick. It could also be done with very sleek clothing underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470807 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 16:38:50 +0000 Angie 470807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should try a size 4 too then. Just to be on the safe side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470766 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 15:35:04 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 470766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I no longer layer heavily in the wintertime...in this picture I'm wearing a turtleneck with a cami underneath. If I were wearing a dress, the most I would layer would be a cami under and a lightweight cardi over. I think I could do that easily. Would have been nice to try the 4, but I do think the 6 fit well through the shoulders. I don't think the coat is as yellow in real life...would need to get it home and take pix out in the open air. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470473 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 02:36:30 +0000 Angie 470473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you layered properly underneath the coat, MPJ? Be sure to do that so that all bases are covered. </p> <p>The style is heavenly on you! I am not 100% on board with the colour yet. It seems too yellow for your complexion. But that could be bad store lighting. I leave that part up to you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470470 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 02:33:35 +0000 Fruitful 470470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Casablanca feel!

I couldn't put my finger on it... perhaps the others are right and it's the lapels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470389 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:34:38 +0000 Mochi 470389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with missvee about the lapels. They're a bit overwhelming. It is a very nice coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470352 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:11:18 +0000 Suz 470352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG...looking at it again, I notice the turned back cuff detail....SWOON. </p> <p>Lauren Bacall in Casablanca, anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470347 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:09:36 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 470347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Suz, that is such a sweet memory to share...thank you! It is amazing how retro/vintage the coat feels with just that extra bit of elegant length to it. Looking at the pix I think I have the belt cinched a tad too tight, but otherwise, I thought it was a lovely coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470346 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:09:03 +0000 missvee 470346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great colour, but my concern is that with the very wide lapels it's a lot of coat for someone with such a small frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470334 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:02:36 +0000 Suz 470334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh...I am having happy/sad flashbacks to an amazing midi coat of my mother's that I inherited and wore for several years, until it wore out, actually. I loved that coat, so I love this one, too. It means I cannot view it with any objectivity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-midi-coat-for-me#post-470295 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:36:51 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 470295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took inspiration from your recent blog post on midi length coats and a recent modern classic "must-haves" list and hunted down one of the midi coats you featured.</p> <p>Despite the online suggestion to size down, the size 6 seemed fine on me (I think). I am usually a 4 or a 6, but my local Nordstrom's only had a 6 as the smallest size.</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/882bqtc" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/882bqtc</a><br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/7xyww4k" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/7xyww4k</a></p> <p>(For others reading, here is the midi coat on the Nordstrom's site: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/george-simonton-couture-long-wrap-coat/3206138?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ge.....sultback=0</a>)</p> <p>Does this work for me, Angie or should I keep looking? </p>
