Looks fantastic on you - great colour, love the black buttons, and this fuschia is your colour.<br /> Read the comments - went back to look at the pics. I see that the coat itself is "high-waisted", but it doesn't bother my eye at all. Seems to be the intent of the style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777880 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:44:59 +0000 Anonymous 777880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most coats fit me this way, but I think this one has an intentional, almost empire seam at the waist. I think i looks really flattering and I'd keep it as long as it doesn't *feel* funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777874 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:38:18 +0000 Glory 777874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you. The colour is great and I love the length. If you are comfortable then I see keep it - so fun to have a bright coloured winter jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777756 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 06:17:50 +0000 Lyn D. 777756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, there is nothing wrong with looking long-legged, and I actually quite like this coat . But you need to like it , or else you won't wear it or will wear it unhappily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777733 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 04:30:36 +0000 shoppingisfun 777733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I went back to the store earlier (for something else!) And looked at how the coat fit on the mannequin, and it fit the mannequin the same way it fits me...so I guess it is supposed to fit like that? I do like looking long legged.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777732 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 04:30:14 +0000 Suz 777732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is almost like a "shrunken" pea coat. I suspect it is cut this way on purpose, although it's hard to tell because it does look a bit different on the model. If it's possible it might be worth trying the regular 0 just for comparison. </p> <p>I don't think it would be comfortable for me, personally; I once had a thrifted coat from Zara that fit a bit this way. It was intentional, and part of the design, but it never really felt right to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777721 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 03:53:08 +0000 bj1111 777721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the jacket waist seems to sit higher than your natural waist. it appears to give you super ling legs, but your waist appears to start immediately below your boobs. i guess it depends on what silhouette you want to project.</p> <p>i would return if it were my coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777715 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 03:35:39 +0000 shoppingisfun 777715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the replies so far. I have not tried it in the non-petite size, as the coats in the regular sizes (in store, anyway) only go down to a 0...and a 0 is even bigger than a 0P. I should probably post a pic of myself with it unbuttoned for better comparison to the model, as that does change the way the coat hangs quite a bit.</p> <p>ETA: Okay, I added some unbuttoned shots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777709 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 03:15:44 +0000 Karie 777709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks shorter on you than it does on the model. Did you try it on in the not petite size? That might fit better. Otherwise, I would probably pass it up, since (and I know from experience) a too high waist can be annoying to wear.<br /> I do love the color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777707 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 03:13:38 +0000 Thistle 777707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First thing I notice is that the model,does notmwear it buttoned in the front in any of the pictures, so hard to compare.</p> <p>It does not look to me as if you need to size up. Imthink the coat fits you well and gives you a little room to layer underneath it. The sleeves are a touch long, but not overly so.</p> <p>However, if you don't feel fab init, return. Coats get a lot of wear and should make you feel great every time you wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-coat-conundrum#post-777704 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 03:06:34 +0000 shoppingisfun 777704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please help me make a decision on whether to keep this coat! I think it's cute, but the waistline of the coat hits me well above my natural waist (see photos). There is no possible way that I am too tall for the coat, since I'm only 5 1/2" tall, plus the sleeves and shoulders seem to fit me perfectly...I bought a 00P, which is my normal size for tops in this brand (LOFT), but do I need to size up or something? Help!!</p> <p>ETA: for reference, here's a link to the coat so you can see how it looks on the model:<br /> <a href="http://www.loft.com/loft/product/LOFT-Petite/LOFT-Petite-Jackets/Petite-Boiled-Wool-Blend-Pea-Coat/289878?colorExplode=false&#038;skuId=12575831&#038;catid=catl000040&#038;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&#038;defaultColor=9717" rel="nofollow">http://www.loft.com/loft/produ.....Color=9717</a></p> <p>ETA: Unbuttoned pics </p>
