Collar too low. I would not keep it. Sell it, use the $ towards a new one that is perfect for you.</p> <p>If you look at the model, the coat's line is very slim and straight. It makes a big difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844863 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 07:43:32 +0000 Ingunn 844863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it when one can alter an old darling and keep on using it. Great solution! I see why you love this coat, it is very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844849 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 06:16:26 +0000 rae 844849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, seeing this on my computer monitor instead of phone, I like it even more! Will be even more awesome shortened like the pin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844823 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 04:09:24 +0000 Jenava 844823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's fab! I think once you have it tweaked by a tailor it's going to be perfect (and, long coats are a "thing" for next fall, I think) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844809 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 03:49:40 +0000 Kiwichik 844809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any chance you can have the pockets removed without wrecking the garment - I think they are throwing the proportions off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844569 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:57:09 +0000 Aziraphale 844569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With flats, I think not. But it's a great coat, and I think it would work with a chunky heel. I vote shorten it just a bit, and see if you can't move the buttons up a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844556 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:41:34 +0000 Adelfa 844556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too. How cool to have Angie's suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844522 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:09:19 +0000 TraceyLiz65 844522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so love the idea of shortening and keeping this! Can't wait to see you post the results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844513 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:00:54 +0000 Niefern 844513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, the buttons and the rear belt seem to be placed too low. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844506 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:44:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 844506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad Angie said keep I love it:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844491 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:27:55 +0000 deb 844491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I see that. It could be just the way I had it on. I noticed on one of your pinned pics, there is a belt. I will have it shortened to mid calf length. Is that good? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844489 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:23:39 +0000 Angie 844489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the belt for now. Perhaps have the buttons in front repositioned a little so that it's not pulling over the bottom area. Can you see the back bunch up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844487 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:19:09 +0000 deb 844487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool, I just love it and I am so glad I have your approval to keep it. It is off to the tailor as soon as I'm done here. The shoulders fit perfectly and the width at the hip could not be any smaller. It is a beautifull black and grey harring bone weave in wool. Angie, should I keep the back belt, or have it removed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844479 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:05:58 +0000 Angie 844479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote shorten a little - like the lengths of the two photos I pinned. This coat look is going to be happening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844472 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:57:39 +0000 Thistle 844472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks a bit dated to my untained eye. Based on the rearview, it also looks a bit big. How does it feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844469 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:56:10 +0000 rae 844469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it a lot! How do the shoulders fit? What ar<br /> e your concerns? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-coat---purge#post-844463 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:53:50 +0000 deb 844463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie pinned a pic of a long coat today and I thought I might be able to keep my long coat because I love it. After looking at the my pics, I think not. What do you think, purge? Please ignor the hair and lack of styling.</p> <p>Edit - I added Angie's pin so you can see where I am heading. </p>
