Persevere with the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970722 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:47:04 +0000 Thistle 970722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is packed up and will be returned tomorrow. I wanted it to look more like the model - shorter and swingy. The model must be at least 6feet tall! It is too big in the shoulders, arms, and the length is too long. The cost of alterations would be more than the coat, and the fabric is just not that level of quality.</p> <p>Was fun to try though, and adds a bit more to my NAS fund. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970532 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 13:13:53 +0000 Deborah 970532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What did you decide Thistle? It's a lovely coat but I don't think the overall fit is good enough for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970260 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 23:44:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 970260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving it, it does seem to overwhelm you a little. I think there is too much fabric under the arms &amp; at the shoulder line.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970255 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 23:30:22 +0000 Mia 970255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This really does look too big. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am wondering if you will get the use out of this colour and pattern that you would like. &nbsp;I love polka dots so reluctantly voting "return". &nbsp;I think "the one" is still out there for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970125 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:46:19 +0000 Eliza 970125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not smitten with this trench. It seems to play differently IRL than on the website. It feels too long, but what I am noticing the most is the way the hem lies- it seems to be a fussy fabric to get in place. Does it have a nice "hand"? </p> <p>It may not be worth it to try to get this up to Thistle standards. Well worth trying. I was excited to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970115 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:35:05 +0000 Anonymous 970115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, it feels too big? With it all buttoned (but not belted) can you grab the front torso area&nbsp;and pull it out away from your body very far?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, you may be able to size down. Pretty trench.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970043 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:01:55 +0000 Anonymous 970043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks way too big for you, Thistle. It's adorable, but I have to vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970032 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:50:47 +0000 Anonymous 970032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look way too long in sleeves and lower half length. The model has it quite short, but then she's probably 6 foot tall! I rather like the pattern and colour though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970029 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:48:48 +0000 catgirl 970029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at the model the length is a big difference - hers is above the knee and mod/swingy somehow. She must be really tall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-970026 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:40:27 +0000 Anonymous 970026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe hem it? The dots don't come off well on camera but the pattern still looks charming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969978 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:44:37 +0000 rae 969978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, it is hard to see in a pic where your actual shoulders are versus the coat. Is it big in the bust, too? I also think that if you kept it should be shortened, but that is easy compared to the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969957 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:29:37 +0000 catgirl 969957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a sad no. I have a hard time finding coats that look sleek and still fit my shoulders, so it's a struggle. But this looks too big all around, and I too am not sure of the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969922 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 15:59:24 +0000 Diana 969922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I'm not sure if it's actually too big for you or just looks so because of the light color and shape, but it does look as though it's overwhelming you.&nbsp; I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969873 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 15:00:11 +0000 Anonymous 969873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a big long for you. I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969871 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:58:12 +0000 unfrumped 969871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I do love the dots but I think the fit is off for one thing--either too big overall, or too boxy--you can take a more refined silhouette. Also I think you will look better in a mid-range color, if not a neutral--since you were&nbsp;considering something more summery and trendy like the dots, you might find a deeper color that has some contrasting trim or something that pops and looks fresher than a khaki trench. LIke white dots or print on a darker background, or white piping on&nbsp;a fresh color, or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969852 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:46:31 +0000 pil 969852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's close, isn't it? I'm bordering on really liking it. Would it help to have more pictures with the sleeves and hem pinned shorter? It's really flattering through the waist, but of course you actually have a waist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969846 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:41:48 +0000 Thistle 969846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. Thistle thought it was "okay", but&nbsp;he thought it looked&nbsp;odd with trousers. He commented on that a couple of times, actually.&nbsp; Maybe because of the coat length, as you note.</p> <p>He liked the RL skirt in the other shot, that and the MK top the other day he insisted I show you and not just outright return&nbsp; :)&nbsp;&nbsp; He was very happy when "The Ladies" as he calls YLF validated that it looked good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969844 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:40:55 +0000 Anonymous 969844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it on you! I agree the sleeves and length seem too long though.</p> <p>I admire a sleek very close fitted torso on a trench like some of the ladies have been posting, but that just doesn't work for me. I need to be able to layer. I think the shoulders and torso look good on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969835 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:29:58 +0000 Angie 969835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great torso fit! Not sure if sizing down is the right move. Maybe? Too long in the sleeves and length to my eye, though. </p> <p>I wonder whether a colour would be better? But this type of dot does not photograph well either so we aren't seeing it at its best. What does Mr. Thistle think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969797 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:47:15 +0000 Liz A. 969797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm i'm not sure if this white is your color.&nbsp; i'd like it better in a bright, or even black with white spots.&nbsp; it does look too big and long overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969791 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:41:53 +0000 donnat 969791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks a bit big through the shoulders, the long sleeves are throwing it off too. How does it feel? I do love it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-asos-dotty-trench#post-969783 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:34:34 +0000 Thistle 969783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ASOS dotty trench arrived, and I am&nbsp; . . . uncertain.&nbsp; I ordered my normal size and am almost wondering if it is too big. </p> <p>I am including a picture from ASOS of more what I thought it would look like . . .</p>
