I agree that shoulder and bust fit is key, so this coat should see you through several size changes. It may not need alterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291632 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 21:25:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2291632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat is beautiful on you. I'd keep this size. Your shoulders will remain the same width as you lose weight, and yes, the coat can probably be taken in later, if needed; usually it can be done in the side seams and center back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291614 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 20:05:27 +0000 BlueJay 2291614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour on you! What a great coat, and you look very happy wearing it! What others have said about wearing it for<i> now</i> and not tailoring to accommodate layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291611 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:58:34 +0000 Minaminu 2291611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab coat and great colour on you, I can see why you'd like to add more turquoise to your wardrobe! </p> <p>I wouldn't resize it as it can be very handy a loose coat so that you can add a blazer (and then maybe a blazer and thick jumper). I am in a similar journey as you as I went down a bit more than size and think the next coat will be 3 sizes down from the current one - so that there will be a tailored option and a loose alternative. Makes sense? Is it something that you could do as well so that you can continue to enjoy your coat for a very long time without worrying on the weight loss? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291605 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:52:20 +0000 Helena 2291605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Carla said about the fit/sizing ... I think it's perfect. Such a great colour on you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291602 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:49:31 +0000 Kate 2291602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous coat, and it looks beautiful on you.</p> <p>Keep the size you have. It's a great fit on the bust and shoulders and that's the important thing. You may lose weight in your bust, but your shoulders will remain the same. Some weight loss will only make layering easier as others have said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291598 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:40:10 +0000 Anonymous 2291598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great color on you! I'm on team loose coat for layering under, so losing weight will just make it more layerable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291594 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:26:26 +0000 JAileen 2291594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks so great on you! &nbsp;I agree with Kathie WRT layering. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291593 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:22:41 +0000 Carla 2291593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colour, and great fit. &nbsp;My experience is that tops can be worn through a few extra size changes, whereas bottoms - not so much. &nbsp;Keep the coat to enjoy&nbsp;<i>now. &nbsp;</i>You deserve it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291592 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:18:19 +0000 Dee 2291592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you look radiant in this colour of coat, glad you get to enjoy it early. If it were me, I wouldn’t fool with perfection and just keep this size, but then I really don’t know much about coat alterations, so that’s just my 2 cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291591 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:18:09 +0000 Kathie 2291591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous on you! I'd keep this size, because it might be useful to have a coat that you can layer a jacket under, if you lose more weight. (It looks like you're wearing only a blouse under it right now??) So glad you found something so perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-the-turquoise-talbots-coat#post-2291584 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 18:54:21 +0000 Kaelyn 2291584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I'm IN LOVE with it! Thank you so much for posting about it, Angie! BIG wardrobe joy boost. I needed a coat desperately, and I was so excited about the turquoise. I got it from one of my partners as an early Christmas gift so I can start using it on early morning walks because it's getting quite cold some days, even in Atlanta. The color is gorgeous, and the texture is soft but nubby to me, and I love that. I'm planning to add more turquoise to my wardrobe as part of my desire to increase color in this leg of my style journey, and I like the way turquoise looks with pretty much every color I enjoy wearing, so it's a slam dunk for practicality. </p> <p>I do have a question for Angie and others - do y'all think this could be tailored? It's a perfect fit RIGHT NOW, particularly in the shoulders (big deal for me with my broad shoulders and large bust), but if I continue to lose weight, it may end up too big at some point in the future. Because it's such a unique color (and because it was pricey), I want to make sure I get as much longevity out of it as I possibly can. I'm wondering if exchanging for a size down would be a good idea, though then I run the risk of it being a little too narrow in the shoulders... The only thing I've ever had tailored was the dress I wore for my first wedding, and that was done in-store where I bought it, so I have ZERO practical experience with tailoring. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! </p>
