See if it works better.</p> <p>The red color is amazing on you, and it has potential.</p> <p>If not, you know to look for a red coat this winter :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-kristen-reviw-kristen-blake-hooded-rain-coat#post-1938372 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 10:29:07 +0000 kkards 1938372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1st picture brought to mind little red robin hood, but in a good way...you do look great in that color, so it maybe worth trying a size up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-kristen-reviw-kristen-blake-hooded-rain-coat#post-1938365 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 10:15:41 +0000 Suz 1938365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I <b>LOVE</b> that colour on you. I have no answers about the odd sizing, but think it is definitely worth a second try because the overall shape of it is also sensational on you. And so great to see you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-kristen-reviw-kristen-blake-hooded-rain-coat#post-1938345 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 09:15:13 +0000 Sal 1938345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it in the first photo but then I do see that it is too tight in the arms.&nbsp; But I second Angie - the red is really gorgeous on you.&nbsp; If not this one then maybe another red one will come your way.</p> <p>I think manufacturers are skimpy on arms... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-kristen-reviw-kristen-blake-hooded-rain-coat#post-1938310 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 05:56:04 +0000 JAileen 1938310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not order two sizes so you’ll know right away whether you have a good fit or not. It sounds like you’re not enamored with it though. I don’t like gold hardware, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-kristen-reviw-kristen-blake-hooded-rain-coat#post-1938285 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 03:56:09 +0000 Barbara Diane 1938285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,<br />Thanks for the compliments and the advice. I kept editing and added more fit details. Do you think one size up is enough? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-kristen-reviw-kristen-blake-hooded-rain-coat#post-1938278 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 03:41:36 +0000 Angie 1938278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. You in that red is SENSATIONAL.</p> <p>May I suggest you go for the size up. It has GREAT potential, and you are just lovely, <b>Barbara Diane</b>. Fun to see you and your yummy curls.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-kristen-reviw-kristen-blake-hooded-rain-coat#post-1938268 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 03:33:36 +0000 Barbara Diane 1938268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Kristen Blake Hooded Rain Jacket (plus) arrived today.</p> <p>Nordstrom instructed to size down a size, so I did. From my usual size. Although looking at the chart, it might have been two sizes in my waist, and who knows whether it was one or two sizes down in my hips, as I am short waisted and big abdomen and thighs, so no one ever seems to know where to measure me.</p> <p>I am wearing a sleeveless cotton knit shell underneath.</p> <p>The oddest part was that the tightest area was my bust and arms. Odd because my bust measurement reflects the smallest size of my multi-sized body, and smaller than the smallest part of the size range I sized down from. It is perhaps not as surprising that the arms were tight as I have extra left from when I was larger. But, I have never had this problem in a coat before.&nbsp;And, there is extra material above my bust near my arm.</p> <p>There is no extra room for a long sleeve shirt, let alone a sweater, across the bust. Maybe a very thin sweater would fit in the waist and hip area.</p> <p>The gold snaps are quite bright and I prefer silver. Also, I find the small gap below the placket a bit strange.</p> <p>I will ponder whether to re-order, and if so, my regular size or one up. Or both.</p> <p> Really not sure if I will reorder due to the strange-on-me fit, and as I have other coats that fit and fill the everything but the "bright color I love" and the "more red" niche in my wardrobe.</p>
