This one is cut far more generous than they are which is both gorgeous and too big.</p> <p>This particular coat isn't sold in my local store, though I can see if they are carried in another Sear's store. </p> <p>My boyfriend said that he thinks that these coats are cut for bigger people (very vanity sized) and I'm just not a big person. I still think big sometimes. </p> <p>That is a 10 and I tried on 10's in the store but they all fit much closer to the body. </p> <p>I tried on these two jackets:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-luxe-wool-scoopneck-coat~243986_59.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....86_59.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-luxe-wool-pea-coat~227379_59.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....79_59.html</a></p> <p>But am thinking this might be a better short, but it's a little more casual, same swing style but shorter:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-luxe-wool-swing-jacket~244011_59.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....11_59.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731164 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:10:38 +0000 Mellllls 731164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>beautiful color but just too big on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731160 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:08:19 +0000 Echo 731160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the coat looks far too big. I think you can find a coat that fits and flatters you better, although the colour is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731128 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:47:07 +0000 Deborah 731128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely coat but sorry to say it just looks to big on you:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731116 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:35:37 +0000 velvetychocolate 731116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour is gorgeous on you, the shape is promising, but I also think the coat is too big for you. Is there a way to exchange for a smaller size? Did you order Lands End online? It should be reasonably simple to send it back and re-order a smaller size. That said, I don't know what their policies are in terms of exchanges and if something was bought on sale that maybe isn't on sale anymore. Might be worth a call or e-mail to customer service? As far as I know, you can return any online Lands End purchase to a local Sears store - at least that was the case last fall. </p> <p>In the meantime, you are on the right track with the colour and shape - just *fabulous* on you. That purple colour really makes your eyes stand out and your skin glow. </p> <p>Thing is - it really is too big on you, and it's well worth the hassle of re-ordering or exchanging for a smaller size - in fact, you might need to go down *two* sizes in this for it to fit you properly. </p> <p>What do you think? Are you willing to schlep on over to a local Sears store, return and re-order in a size or two smaller? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731113 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:32:43 +0000 Anonymous 731113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is just not right on you. What about this coat, also from Land's End in garnet:<br /> <a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-luxe-wool-double-breasted-coat~243989_59.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....89_59.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731096 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:12:56 +0000 eperdu 731096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that if I went a size down it would be too small on the shoulders. It's already a little tight there now</p> <p>Alternations would probably cost me more than I spent on the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731090 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:51:10 +0000 kellygirl 731090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to vote for a size down. The color is beautiful on you. I love that style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731077 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:34:36 +0000 Thistle 731077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely color, but you are swimming in the coat. Could you exchange it for a size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731044 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:52:34 +0000 Suz 731044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour is gorgeous on you. But the coat is much too big. I say keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-731033 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:38:26 +0000 Vildy 731033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's the color and you he likes. Coat is way too big, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-730984 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:47:47 +0000 Caro in Oz 730984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the fit is good enough - just my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-730977 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:42:48 +0000 deb 730977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks too big to me. I say back it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-lands-end-swing-coat#post-730974 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:41:23 +0000 eperdu 730974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here we go ... I got the Land's End Swing Coat because I loved the style and got a great deal on it (40% off!).</p> <p>They didn't carry it in the store but I was able to try on similar coats in this size. I find that top / shoulders fits ok and it just gets progressively larger the further down we go. I'll be able to wear a few layers underneath without too much issue.</p> <p>The arms are long enough (always a problem) but almost look sloppy. I think overall the fit isn't great. It feels like I'm wearing a man's coat that is just ill-fitting.</p> <p>That said, my boyfriend likes it. We took a few photos and they aren't the greatest but they give you an idea. I'm flat-footed in the shots but wearing a typical pair of boot cut jeans that I normally wear. Even if I were wearing shoes they would be flats or something similar.</p> <p>The boy thinks I should keep it for awhile and keep looking for something else if I want but he likes it overall. It's not fitted and I'm not sure if that's a good thing for me or not.<br /> Thoughts? </p>
