I'll keep an eye out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-18063 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:29:33 +0000 Angie 18063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for trying to get a 0P. Rotten luck. </p> <p>The best assortment of coats is usually in early September, Becky. Although I managed to replace my false plain coat in July! I’d say keep your eyes peeled from now on. Something better awaits you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-18013 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:39:52 +0000 Ana 18013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that's too bad! Well, there will be other jackets, you're right. I'd definitely keep red in mind, that's a fab color on you and looks great with your new Trotters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-18007 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:23:42 +0000 Becky 18007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I checked with Customer Service this morning; that coat was not available at all in 0P. But at least I have plenty of time to search before cold weather gets here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17875 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:06:01 +0000 Ana 17875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it's possible it's just sold out online. If you call, they can search stores, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17872 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 02:57:51 +0000 Becky 17872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, Dani, it appeared that it wasn't even available; that size wasn't a choice on the pull-down menu. I could call, though, to double-check. Good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17838 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:46:08 +0000 Dani 17838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm sorry, Becky...that just means there's a better coat out there with your name on it :)</p> <p>Just curious though, have you tried calling customer service and seeing if they could track down one in the stores? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17830 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:50:14 +0000 Becky 17830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just checked the Nordstrom site...this coat is not available in 0P. So, I guess the search continues...</p> <p>If anyone finds a beautiful red coat in petite sizes, let me know! :-)</p> <p>Angie, when will the winter stock be at its best selection? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17820 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:14:59 +0000 Angie 17820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat is still above your knee, right? This length looks good with skirts and dresses. A shorter coat doesn’t look nearly as good over frocks. You can always get yourself an inexpensive shorter coat for pants only. This length goes both ways. Have a squizz at this: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/12/20/coat-length-and-dresses/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/12/.....d-dresses/</a></p> <p>Julia, I hear you on the “dwarfing” aspect. I think a smaller size might solve the problem. The sleeve length should also be a little shorter because the shoulder width is narrower on a smaller size. </p> <p>Your call Becky. You can either have one more bash with this coat or wait till Winter stock hits stores full swing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17808 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:21:39 +0000 Becky 17808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No problem, Dani! There's no need to chew your toes! *chuckle* I am quite comfortable with my "vertically challenged" status, although finding clothing is often frustrating! </p> <p>Angie, I do think I could possibly go down to a 0P. I would not generally wear more than two thin layers underneath, so I wouldn't have a lot of bulk to deal with. Would the sleeves be shorter on the 0P, or would they still need adjusted?</p> <p>San, I like the idea of the coat style you suggested. My problem is the smaller selection available in petite sizes. I will try the 0P and see what happens...but I think I will call the new tailor I found and ask about the cost of adjusting the sleeves. I had her shorten a skirt and found the quality of her work very nice, so maybe I'm onto something...</p> <p>Judy, the style you suggest is nice, but I think it's too boxy for me. I feel like I need something as streamlined as possible since I am so short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17769 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:02:02 +0000 judy 17769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, I'm petite too, and I find that full length coats kind of dwarf me...you just see the coat and not the woman in the coat! I'm no expert, but maybe others can weigh in on getting a coat where the eye goes upward and it makes the leg line look longer...here's an example :</p> <p><a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=SOIA-WO44&#038;c=Soia+%26+Kyo" rel="nofollow">http://www.revolveclothing.com.....ia+%26+Kyo</a> </p> <p>the eye goes to the bust area...and then all that room underneath can look like it's your legs! I actually tried this coat on, and I loved it but it wasn't comfortable for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17765 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:42:09 +0000 Anonymous 17765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like a coat on you that has a curved waist and no belt, a long lean look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17689 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:49:22 +0000 Angie 17689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Becky. I'm tempted to let you try a 0P. Will you wear thicker items underneath? LOVE the colour and collar detail. I like the overall length. It’s classy and versatile. Sleeves need adjustment but its’ just too roomy in the shoulder. Does that make sense? Do you feel you could go down a size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17688 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:48:41 +0000 Dani 17688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Becky, I'm sorry...I didn't realize it was a petite (taking foot out of mouth now). I don't think you're that short. Do you think you could take a 0P? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17685 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:44:20 +0000 Becky 17685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Dani, this *is* a petite coat! (Guess that tells how short I am all over, doesn't it??) This is a size 2P, Angie, and I am wearing one lightweight sweater underneath. The shoulders feel like they are nice and roomy, which I like, but perhaps they are too big? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17671 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:21:28 +0000 Dani 17671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, I LOVE that color on you and as much as it pains me to say this, I would keep looking. My reasoning is based on the fact that you have mentioned how hard it is to find a good tailor in your area and I don't think you want to take a chance on this coat since it wasn't exactly bargain priced. I also think you can find something that fits you a little better all over and doesn't bulk as much. Sorry I think your instincts were right and you need a petite coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17669 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:19:10 +0000 Angie 17669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What size is the coat, Becky? And how many layers are you wearing underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17665 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:10:05 +0000 Anonymous 17665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seem too big in the shoulders to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17664 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:06:56 +0000 Tanya 17664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, the color is gorgeous on you! It also fits you well in the shoulders and waist. I'd keep it and have the sleeves and the bottom shortened a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17644 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 01:18:51 +0000 Nicole 17644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Shell....the color is fabulous on you! The sleeves are a bit too long. I'd spend the $ to have the sleeves shortened, and then while you're at it, have them shorten it too. I think it's worth the alterations--it's a beautiful coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17619 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:26:12 +0000 shell 17619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think its really pretty - i was contemplating getting the jacket myself, although in the eggplant color. as for the length, i think a few inches shorter would make you look a bit taller. it's not bad as is, but it would look sharper just a bit shorter.</p> <p>also, the sleeves look a bit too long. find a good tailor tho, and i think it's a fab fit for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beckys-ellen-tracy-coat#post-17618 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:16:55 +0000 Becky 17618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the Ellen Tracy coat I ordered from NAS:</p> <p>Front view:<br /> <a href="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll53/PigletMeToo/009.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i285.photobucket.com/al.....oo/009.jpg</a></p> <p>Side view:<br /> <a href="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll53/PigletMeToo/010.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i285.photobucket.com/al.....oo/010.jpg</a></p> <p> I *love* the color and the styling. It's a bit longer than I had hoped for, but I think the length is not a problem. I always worry about the extra bulk that coats add, but I realize I'm not very objective, so that's why I come here for honest feedback! So what do you all think? Is it a keeper, or should I keep looking? </p>
