I'm sorry I did not reply sooner. I'm actually in London and I did not have a chance to order .... boo....<br /> Thank you these are super useful. Hopefully my size and the sale are still there when I return </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-tipped-peacoat-tried-on-3-different-sizes--pics-for-zap#post-779075 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 03:41:20 +0000 Charmian 779075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go with the one that fits properly in the shoulders! Everything else can be altered ;)</p> <p>Also, thanks for the outfit photos! I'd been eyeing that coat but was unsure since the lapels looked too big on the dressform. They look quite proportional on you, so maybe I'll wander into my local J. Crew this week ... not on Black Friday though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-tipped-peacoat-tried-on-3-different-sizes--pics-for-zap#post-778675 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 17:55:47 +0000 catgirl 778675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Suz 100%. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-tipped-peacoat-tried-on-3-different-sizes--pics-for-zap#post-778673 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 17:54:33 +0000 lynne 778673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great jacket at a great price! I think you did fine ordering the 4. The shoulders are the most important for the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-tipped-peacoat-tried-on-3-different-sizes--pics-for-zap#post-778309 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 02:18:30 +0000 Anonymous 778309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I think the 4 looks best in the shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-tipped-peacoat-tried-on-3-different-sizes--pics-for-zap#post-778292 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 02:00:33 +0000 Suz 778292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a nifty jacket! I say go with the one that fits in the shoulders. Ultimately, that's what will matter. And, as you seem to know your regular J. Crew coat size and that is it, all the more reason. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-j-crew-tipped-peacoat-tried-on-3-different-sizes--pics-for-zap#post-778194 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 23:38:17 +0000 goldenpig 778194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted about this J Crew Tipped Peacoat being on sale here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-jcrew-30-off-sale-prices-tipped-peacoat" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ed-peacoat</a><br /> With 30% off the sale price it ends up being 66% off the original price ($132 instead of $298). If anyone's interested, I think the extra 30% off sale price code MUSTHAVE expires tonight!</p> <p>Anyhow, yesterday I ordered the size 4 online, which is my typical size for J Crew coats (I have a Plaza coat in size 4). I haven't received it yet, but today I went to try it on in the store. I tried on three different sizes--4, 6 and 8. Mainly to double check the size and also to get pics for Zap, since she's interested in the jacket too. I took pics of the jacket buttoned up as well, but I'm not really planning on buttoning the jacket while I'm pregnant because I think it looks kinda funny with my big tummy. It's a little hard to buy stuff when you're pregnant, but I think this jacket is something I could wear for a long time, so in this case I think it's worth it to buy now given the great sale price. So I didn't end up buying any of these in-store because I already have the 4 on the way and it's final sale (the in-store SA confirmed this).</p> <p>What do you think? Keep or return, and which size--4, 6 or 8? (It's supposed to be final sale, but I chatted with the online rep before ordering and have it in writing that she said I could return the 4 if I ordered it). The J Crew in-store SA said she thought the 4 fit me the best in the shoulders and torso and advised me to get the 4 because she thought it would fit me the best after the baby comes. She said the 6 was too big in the shoulders. I think I agree, the size 6 and 8 may fit me better now but I think they may be too large after I get rid of the baby weight. What do you think?</p> <p>Oh and by the way, the wool is soft and fuzzy, not itchy at all, and the coat is fully lined. It's a little stiffer and heavier than I thought, more of an outerwear jacket than a blazer. And I would plan to wear it with skinny pants and pencil skirts, not the full skirt I was wearing when I tried it on. Hope these pics help if anyone is interested!</p> <p>1-5. Size 4 (front, front, side, buttoned, side buttoned)<br /> 6-10. Size 6<br /> 11-15. Size 8<br /> 16. Pic of the lining </p>
