I had one in trench material, and loved it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-1#post-2390920 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 18:03:14 +0000 Angie 2390920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Robin,</b> may I suggest the petite sized jackets and vests &nbsp;from L.L. Bean, Eddie Bauer, and Landsend. They might have just the right fit you're looking for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-1#post-2390893 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 14:38:04 +0000 Roberta 2390893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely an issue for me, and I have never considered alterations. This is such a difficult change and I think it is 50/50 that altering the shoulders might make the rest of the garment look distorted. I look for all in one sleeves, or brands that are generous in the bustline. They're out there - LLBean for one - but there are also plenty of elegant, drapey coats that have room in the bust. Or a very soft shoulder that follows your silhouette. A "sharp" shoulder may no longer be your friend, I'm afraid. </p> <p>It occurs to me that I have multiple coats with a drawstring waist. This allows me to have room in the bust without a lot of blousiness at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-1#post-2390866 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 03:36:51 +0000 Lisa 2390866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the drop shoulder suggestion. Good luck shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-1#post-2390810 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 19:23:27 +0000 Irina 2390810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tailoring shoulders is expensive and requires an experienced professional. Can be done, though. I often have this fit issue, too. The best cut of outwear for me is raglan or dropped shoulder. Fix shoulders are almost never fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-1#post-2390802 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 18:44:45 +0000 Robin 2390802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to refresh my fall and winter outerwear - jackets, vests, or both.</p> <p>My problem is that I now technically have large breasts on my petite frame.<br />This is partially due to weight gain, but not totally. Something about my body chemistry changed and, well, they're much bigger than they used to be.</p> <p>In other words, this is unlikely to change significantly.</p> <p>This makes shopping for outerwear really dificult.</p> <p>Most anything I've tried on that fits around my chest is giant in the shoulders.</p> <p>Are their styles and silhouettes I can be looking for that might fit my shape more easily?</p> <p>Or is my best option to find something that is close enough to just-right then have it tailored?<br />Given that it usually has layers, can outerwear even be tailored like that?</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
