You gained and lost once and seem to have it under control. Menopause is a factor, but it is better to buy for a body you have now than to guess at what is to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977982 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 06:22:13 +0000 ElleH 977982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna I don't have a huge history of fluctuation. It is just that I have a thyroid issue that caused a gradual weight gain. I lost all of that &amp; then some because I decided I wasn't happy with it. I don't think I can get any thinner but with thyroid &amp; menopause I could gain weight. There is some room in the smaller Burberry though &amp; if the bigger one looks too big now I don't want it. I just thought I'd check if it was like the BB that looked similar in 2 sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977889 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 03:30:31 +0000 goldenpig 977889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the smaller size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977831 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 02:19:49 +0000 Anonymous 977831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's menopause you are worried about rest&nbsp;assured you'll be fine....you won't need any coats at all.&nbsp; :0<br />Seriously though, the smaller size looks amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977767 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 01:29:09 +0000 merwoman 977767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Suz - do not buy for imaginary future&nbsp;weight gain.

Unless you have some reason to suspect that you are going to gain a lot of weight in the next two years -- wear this one. Dress the body you have now. That is Angie's motto, and it's a good one, no matter where your weight is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977691 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:30:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 977691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller one! Gorgeous! Looks like it was made for you. I wouldn't worry about weight gain. You won't gain it in your shoulders, right? And if you do gain weight, you'll still be able to wear the coat with fewer layers underneath. FWIW, I lost weight in menopause. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977672 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:06:09 +0000 Anonymous 977672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to have to start calling you emanuElle, you know.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977671 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:05:10 +0000 Anonymous 977671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plus Angie already gave the smaller one the go-ahead!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977670 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:04:01 +0000 Anonymous 977670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I don't think you should worry about menopause too much. After all some women wear their trenches open all throughout their pregnancy! As long as your weight doesn't fluctuate wildly I think the smaller size might be your best bet. This particular trench looks like it was cut to be very fitted, which is the look you were going for in the first place (and looks so smashing on you). The BB had a different cut and fit, as we all learned. You can fit another layer under the smaller size, so it really does tick all of the boxes for you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977666 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:01:48 +0000 ElleH 977666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller one. 2nd photo cinched at back.

Claire smaller one fits light blazer or sweater but it is that menopause thing that will happen one day, that worries me.

Yes for travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977645 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:33:42 +0000 merwoman 977645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>maybe I should find your post with the smaller size? To my eye, this one is too big. Too much fabric in the back, excessive pleating. Sleeves too long (not a deal breaker) shoulders a tad too large. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977644 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:33:13 +0000 Anonymous 977644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now see, that's the conundrum. I'd say&nbsp;<i>only if</i>&nbsp;you want to layer if over a blazer or leather jacket (and even then we'd have to see it all on you). Did you want this for travel? I can't remember. Are you in the store? Do they have a jacket you can put on underneath the trench?</p> <p>This one looks okay to me except for the back view with the belt cinched tightly. I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-bigger-burberry-trench#post-977638 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:27:08 +0000 ElleH 977638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering if it is smarter to buy bigger. This is the bigger one </p>
