It's on the bulky big sleeved ones that create problems. I probably wouldn't wear it with a blazer because I am sensitive to that sort of pulling/ tightness, but if you are only wearing a coat on top it should be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854793 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:32:39 +0000 Anonymous 854793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks pretty lightweight -- if your coats are cut tight you'll have trouble but if they are not snug you should be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854782 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:28:07 +0000 Angie 854782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I only buy coats if they fit over my jackets and leather motos. Otherwise there is little point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854781 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:25:54 +0000 Mo 854781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this is the sweater in question. I don't have any jackets specifically like Angie mentioned. Maybe I do need a cape/poncho or cocoon style now. Sheesh. It's always something.<br /> I guess for today I'll just wrap a fluffy scarf around my neck a few times.</p> <p>Kelly, just a dusting of snow, really. Since January we haven't had more than a few inches at a time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854752 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:04:08 +0000 Anonymous 854752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What MaryK said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854749 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:03:51 +0000 NancyLee too 854749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've lived in a cold climate for most of my life. The first thought when trying on outerwear is, "Will it fit over chunky knit sweater, blazer, 2 or 3 other layers, . . whatever?" It's not the time for bodycon look or any kind of close fit, that's for sure!</p> <p>The next thing is to make sure the sleeves at least have a slippery lining. It's very annoying trying to get in and out of a coat if your sleeves are sticking. You end up like a little kid with her coat sleeves inside out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854748 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:03:06 +0000 MsMary 854748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't had any trouble provided the dolman-sleeve item is reasonably lightweight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854725 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:47:39 +0000 kellygirl 854725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wonder how people in cold climates layer in general--like how they layer a coat over a blazer. I've been wearing my poncho over my big dolman sweaters. My long LE coat is the only thing that I can fit over a dolman sweater but it is kind of hideous and I "save" that look for outdoor sporting events pretty much exclusively. Great question--I'm interested to hear what others do!</p> <p>Did you get a nice dusting of snow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854724 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:46:04 +0000 Angie 854724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Capes, cocoon coats, dolman sleeve coats and oversized coats are good solutions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-dolman-sleeves#post-854721 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:44:35 +0000 Mo 854721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So how do you guys manage to layer your regular jackets and coats over the new oversized, boxy, dolman shapes? I am thinking ahead to today's venture and realized this might be an issue. Maybe I need to purchase a cape lol! </p>
