I think you want a classic trench that comes to nearly/at knee length? So my suggestion was to take your measurement from shoulder to knee so you get what you want. Hope that helps </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-black-satin-trench-coat-possible-buy#post-68490 Sat, 30 May 2009 03:15:19 +0000 rwishka 68490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a stupid question but what is "car coat" length? =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-black-satin-trench-coat-possible-buy#post-68485 Sat, 30 May 2009 02:23:41 +0000 Chris 68485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should get some waist definition from the belt and it appears to be a good cut (not boxy).<br /> On the length - it says 41 inches from shoulder to bottom. Perhaps you could measure your shoulder to knee area and see how long you are? Then you'll have an idea about the skirts. A bit peeking would be ok but you also don't seem to want a "car coat" length otherwise it will just look wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-black-satin-trench-coat-possible-buy#post-68429 Fri, 29 May 2009 17:58:39 +0000 rwishka 68429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5'8" and B size in the chest area.</p> <p>I didn't know if it was too much money, but if you say the price is good then that's great!</p> <p>Is this coat good for waist definition?<br /> Also, should any skirts be shorter than the coat's hem or can a little bit peek out? I tend to wear skirt midway or right below my knee... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-black-satin-trench-coat-possible-buy#post-68405 Fri, 29 May 2009 16:06:34 +0000 Angie 68405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! I’m not sure what's appropriate for US college because I did not school here, but that’s a pretty trench provided it fits. The price is good too. </p> <p>If you are short and busty, I'd hold out for something that is single breasted with a smaller revere collar. Hope I’ve helped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-black-satin-trench-coat-possible-buy#post-68387 Fri, 29 May 2009 14:57:43 +0000 rwishka 68387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello everyone!</p> <p>I've been shopping for my college wardrobe and trying to take advantage of some sales. I am in need of a black trench coat and wanted all of your opinions on this:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3016954/0~2376776~2374325~2384477?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2384477&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....7&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>I like the color black as a basic because of its versatility.</p> <p>What do YOU think? Should I buy it or should I pass? Or should I wait until the Anniversary Sale (what if it's gone)? </p>
