It's a bit trapeze-y at the back, which I rather liked. My Burberry peacoat does the same thing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fc-peacoat-sized-down#post-1706997 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 16:22:09 +0000 Traci 1706997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I was thinking the sleeves will need to go under the knife if I decide to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fc-peacoat-sized-down#post-1706972 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 15:47:43 +0000 retailgirl 1706972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This size is better but sleeves are still a little long.
