Or fit for Your Royal Highness. I prefer #1 belted. #2 is a FAB coat but looks like too much, and I don't think one size down will do what's necessary. Alas.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823458 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:19:04 +0000 lynne 823458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first one. It reminds me of the Duke of Windsor. (in a good way) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823434 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 19:38:26 +0000 Thistle 823434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one belted and altered. I like the second one, though I know others don't. I think it is pretty, if a bit too big. Which vibe do you want? If you are looking for a more princess style, I vote keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823409 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 19:11:33 +0000 Carole 823409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked in earlier but felt this was over my head. Seeing Angie's comments hit the nail on the head for what I was thinking. The coat does seem to overwhelm you:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823379 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 18:49:22 +0000 Anonymous 823379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, before you size down on the KM, the pockets were still too low for me, I'm 5'8" and I ordered a size 10, which I think is a size down from yours. The coat was still overwhelming on me. Sadly, the length seems to vary a lot between sizes. The size 6 I tried with Mochi, was the perfect length for me.</p> <p>If you like to size down, the NYC Soho store has the size 10 I returned. Perhaps it is not sold yet.</p> <p>I honestly don't like either one. You can do better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823349 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 18:16:17 +0000 krishnidoux 823349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the second one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823348 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 18:14:50 +0000 rae 823348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only like the first one belted, although I admit I'm maybe not envisioning the alteration correctly. If it would eliminate the bunching at the waist and back? I think the smaller KM is worth a try, though it'd probably need a shortening even then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823345 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 18:13:28 +0000 Jules 823345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love #3 and agree the other one is overwhelming you beyond just a size issue - I think that big all over pattern would be tough on many people, actually (and I don't mean "figure flattery", it's just a lot of pattern that can easily overwhelm. It's almost like the pattern is the wrong scale for the coat, actually). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823344 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 18:12:39 +0000 Anonymous 823344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one belted, with proposed alterations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823339 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 18:08:36 +0000 Beth Ann 823339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Amy --- and I think #1 definitely has princely leanings. Kind of "British High Street" to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823280 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:47:41 +0000 Amy 823280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one will be nice when altered. I much prefer it with the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823272 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:33:04 +0000 MNsara 823272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bj - I'm not committed, but have looked locally and come up disappointed :-(</p> <p>Yes, the KM (princess) pockets are so low I have to reach down to find them!</p> <p>So, Angie, even sizing down, the KM should go back?</p> <p>#1-4 are the same coat and I would take the Marella back to Macy's for alterations IF it's a keeper. . .she just left it pinned so I could photo it at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823267 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:27:09 +0000 Tina.b 823267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, this is a tough one. I really like the print of the princess version but it seems way too big for you, the pockets, the collar, especially the length. The first one I really like but only when it is belted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823264 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:23:38 +0000 Angie 823264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The KM coat, as beautiful as it is, completely overwhelms you - both in style and in pattern. And I know it's a size too big. </p> <p>I like #3 a lot!! Stunning on you and good job with the at home chop-chop alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823263 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:20:44 +0000 bj1111 823263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>prefer princess! to me, the size across the shoulders is good. where does the waist hit you--the pockets seem a bit low. if the waist is good, the i eould just shorten. </p> <p>are you committed to selecting one of these two? or is there an option for more shopping? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prince-or-princess-royal-kr#post-823224 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 15:50:36 +0000 MNsara 823224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I've been busy with my camera, sorry for posting so much in one go, but I seem to go in spurts!)</p> <p>I have a hunch what I should do, but I'm posting to learn even more about the Prince/Princess differences, and where I am on the Royal spectrum :-)</p> <p>Trying to add a new coat to get thru another winter:</p> <p>1-4. Urban Prince? By Marella, sized to fit my hips and alterations pinned the back like they would take it in (that's the little fins down each side)</p> <p>my grainy pics are bad, here's a link to the real deal <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Marella+Calante+belted+wool+trench+coat/D359181,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk.....lt,pd.html</a></p> <p>5-6. Urban Princess? Karen Millen - this size is too big, but I could try the next size down. It's a lot of coat, and maybe I'm more Prince than Princess?</p> <p>What do your eyes see? Thanks for any and all insights, comments, etc. </p>
