Always so hard to tell in that kind of picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524983 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:59:38 +0000 ironkurtin 524983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and do not think it would be dowdy. Is it expensive? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524956 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:20:25 +0000 annagybe 524956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like something Queen Elizabeth would wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524952 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:17:53 +0000 Mander 524952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something I was thinking of bidding on. I think I've changed my mind, though -- the color is in the right ballpark, but my ideal spring raincoat is more of a proper trench style.</p> <p>Like the one I saw two years ago and didn't buy.... sigh.... I hate it when that happens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524930 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:30:40 +0000 CocoLion 524930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I'm being fuzzy here, but is this something you're thinking of bidding on, or is it something you want to sell? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524922 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:15:29 +0000 Mander 524922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You get a strange and somewhat sad insight into human nature surfing on eBay, I think. Some very strange descriptions, misspelled words, sad stories in the comments, and downright hostile threats to non-payers. An odd little microcosm.</p> <p>The most mystifying ones are the pictures that are so completely out of focus that you can't even see the item, or the ones that say "photo to follow". Does anyone ever actually bid on those, I wonder? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524916 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:06:07 +0000 Mochi 524916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reiterating that I think the color's great, but would need to see it on you. Of course, in the case of eBay, that's a problem, I realize. (I'm always amazed at the lack of effort so many eBay sellers make to style and photograph their items in an attractive, marketable way.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524876 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:59:58 +0000 Mander 524876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly it's yet another eBay thing, so I'll just have to decide whether to take a gamble or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524836 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:09:55 +0000 Anonymous 524836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As MaryK says, it all depends on the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524835 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:08:23 +0000 Suz 524835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty colour but it is all in how it fits on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524829 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:41:50 +0000 Louise 524829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous colour how's the fit? Could we see a piccie of it on you?

If it fits you perfectly I can see it being very classic and elegant. Otherwise it could easily slip into Dowdytown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524815 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:25:15 +0000 jayne 524815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it says jackie o to me. That cannot be dowdy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-raincoat-dowdy#post-524813 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:21:00 +0000 Mander 524813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yet more ebay stuff. I like the color and the square buttons kind of appeal to me, but I'm not sure if the overall look is dowdy.</p> <p>Opinions? </p>
