I don't really know much about sleeve length but I looked inside the sleeve and it's lined and corners finished off so it seems like it might be tough to alter. I'll probably keep as is unless it looks really bad. Funny, the Ellen Tracy sleeves were too long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482312 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:27:19 +0000 Charmian 482312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the henna! I was just in J. Crew and that color is gorgeous in real life. It looks fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482258 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:41:56 +0000 san 482258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful coat! Good job! I love the henna size 4. Now to throw a wrench in, do you think the sleeves should be lengthened a touch? I think Angie has said that the sleeves should touch the top tumb joint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482213 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:36:26 +0000 rae 482213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, that was going to be my vote, too! I think you would need a deeper, more saturated camel. The rust is a signature color for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482207 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:23:07 +0000 Kappy 482207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the henna size 4 looks perfect. I guess I'm the only one that likes the midi on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482206 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:23:04 +0000 goldenpig 482206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size 4 Henna it is! Tags are off and I wore it out the door. Yay, I'm so glad I finally found my perfect wool coat! I love camel but you are right, it is not the best color for me. I think rust is becoming my signature color. Thanks Angie for the suggestion and thanks everyone for your input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482168 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:36:36 +0000 Suz 482168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Henna size 4!! </p> <p>What a great colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482161 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:21:48 +0000 Angie 482161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size 4 Henna is KILLER.</p> <p>You are done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482129 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:55:08 +0000 Parsley 482129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the rust on you! It's definitely a keeper!<br /> I don't know what you're wearing underneath in these pictures, but if it's just the light turtleneck, I think the 4 is better, because you need to be able to wear your bulkier things in comfort.</p> <p>The camel is very classic, but I think the rust does more for your coloring.</p> <p>ETA ( I guess it's henna, not rust, but you know what I mean) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482127 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:54:35 +0000 Queen Mum 482127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>henna size 4. perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482126 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:54:25 +0000 modgrl 482126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Henna in a size 4 best for you. It is a very nice fit. It's almost identical to the size 2 but the 2 seems to pull across your chest. The camel is just not doing anything for you. I think it would be better if you put a bright scarf on to bring some color near your face. Would you consider doing that? If not I would return it, it's a tough color to wear because it is so close to your skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482124 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:48:18 +0000 Isis 482124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love the Jcrew coat in henna. Miles above the ET camel, and the henna is so much better than the camel! I would return the camel and not look back.</p> <p>I'll leave fit to the experts, but your pics of the 4 look similar to the pics of the 2. I would get the 4 to allow room to layer underneath (and it would drive me nuts to have to tug it down...)</p> <p>I think you've found your perfect wool coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-plaza-coats-arrived#post-482120 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:34:50 +0000 goldenpig 482120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for a replacement for my old camel colored wool coat that wore out. Previously I tried Angie's doublecloth metro coat but I didn't like the feel of the material (wanted something softer wool). I also tried an Ellen Tracy in rust but it was too voluminous on me. She suggested I try the J Crew Plaza Coat in Henna (rust). They were sold out of my usual size 4 online, so I called customer service and they put in a search order to see if they could locate the coat in a store. Well, after a few nail-biting days (during which I ordered a camel in size 4 and the Henna in size 2, just to hedge my bets), they finally found a size 4 Henna and now I've finally received it! What do you think, is this the coat for me? Which size, 4 or 2? DH likes the 2 because it seems more fitted (and I tend to agree, it looks slimmer), but it's a little tighter and if I raise my arms over my head and bring them back down, the coat tends to cling onto my bust area a little so then I have to pull it back down. Does the 4 look too boxy on me though? Also, what about the camel version? Yay or nay? I might keep both if they both look good, but if not I will just keep the henna. Thanks for your help!</p> <p>1-5. Henna size 4.<br /> 6-8. Camel size 4<br /> 9-11. Henna size 2<br /> 12. Ellen Tracy rust midi coat </p>
