They didn't have the mint version. Also only regular, not petites. I tried the smallest size they had, and it definitely "had a thing going." Unfortunately the pattern+cocoon'ing combo was just too much for me and my frame (even though it fit, technically). </p> <p>I wish I could have tried it in the mint, but that color doesn't really fit with my Fall plan so I'm not going to order it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think it's adorable and if I was even 3 inches taller ....&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554429 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 00:40:46 +0000 Thin White Duchess 1554429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so amused by the look on the model's face in the photo.

I also found that while the top was plenty roomy the bottom part when closed was almost restricting the movement (even though it was not a tight fit).<br />However I also tried another coat in a different style and black / white plaid pattern and liked that cut much better. Unfortunately I don't see it online.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554352 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 22:53:50 +0000 Susie 1554352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've wanted a nice color coat or jacket for a few years now and am always attracted to the cocoon shapes. But they are really not flattering on me; I just look big all over, except for height of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554323 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 22:08:57 +0000 Anonymous 1554323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the print one today - and yes, I was attracted to it at first glance, but up close....it's a lot of coat PLUS a big hairy print. &nbsp;Just not for me. The store didn't have the mint one , sadly. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554317 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 21:46:19 +0000 Thistle 1554317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This gives me hope!!&nbsp; The mint is winging its way to me as I type. Should have it by Friday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554292 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:37:01 +0000 Diana 1554292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee, I have a big head but the big lapels are tricky for me anyway, because of my short neck and short waist.&nbsp; It's not a good look when the lapel covers your ENTIRE chest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554291 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:33:43 +0000 Janet 1554291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frankly, I think the print version looks better in the photo than it did in person. The pattern plus the texture plus the oversize cut made it really dramatic. Too much for me. BUT I'm sure someone here could rock it. Anna comes to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554290 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:32:29 +0000 Janet 1554290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have noticed that, Diana! It trips me up, because on one hand, I'm attracted to the drama. But then I have to be careful because I have a tiny little pinhead and a big collar can look really out-of-proportion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554288 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:30:51 +0000 Diana 1554288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish things like this would fit me but they're always overwhelming and swallow me up&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the drop shoulders + cocoon cut + big lapels make this a really tricky shape.</p> <p>Also, has anyone else noticed that lapels on coats lately seem to be getting really big?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554286 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:24:13 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1554286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the print myself.

Just in case someone wants to try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554283 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:16:41 +0000 abc 1554283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it in both the print and the mint. &nbsp;I guess I'm not too afraid of bold prints, for some reason I think I can carry them off. &nbsp;But what makes me hesitate is the cut of the arm - dropped shoulders are always a no no for me, sadly.</p> <p>Gorgeous coat, hope someone enjoys it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554279 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:02:01 +0000 Leighways 1554279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 5"1 and cuuuuurvy so I can understand print aversion.</p> <p>I'd maybe not go mint myself. It tends to washout quicker, and look wider, but then again this does have some good lines on it...I think the pint is..? Intense. Bold. Kind of "who's that girl"? I could totally see some tall blonde fashion blogger in a black pantsuit and snearkers with this on. It's kind of cool in a way, very statment-e.</p> <p>The oversized sleeves turn me off though. They just scream rainjacket gone wrong to me unfortunately, the rest of it is so streamlined I just don't understand why they went like that??? Argh. Maybe I'm just old fashioned or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-br-moto-cocoon-coat#post-1554276 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 19:51:04 +0000 Janet 1554276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So last night as I cruised quickly through the mall on an errand, I spied this coat in BR. However, it was the bold black and white animal print version. As Tim Gunn would say, that's a lot of look.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I was curious about the cut since seeing it in the mint green color, so I popped in to try it on. Well, it is certainly generously cut! I tried it on in a M and it was plenty roomy -- I may have been able to go down to a S &nbsp;but the hip seemed to fit with plenty of ease for possible layering heavier pants and a longer tunic or sweater in the M. I can't address the possible scratchiness factor because the print version is a faux "pony" finish.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a pretty cool cut though. It's difficult to say how it REALLY looks because the big cut plus the bold print made it quite overwhelming, and I'm not exactly a tiny woman.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure I'll try it in the mint, since I've already bought some things for F/W, and coats are not a pressing need for me, but I thought I'd share my impressions of the cut since many of you seemed interested in it.&nbsp; </p>
