This belongs under the 'what you didn't know about me' thread; you look so tall in photos!</p> <p>I love, love, love your trench, and remembering how long it took me to take up the sleeves on mine (I am 5'4") and reattach straps, buckles, hardware etc still brings tears to my eyes! The coat gods were smiling on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282841 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 15:36:41 +0000 rae 282841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killllller!

The clothes always find me. They get stick to me and I'm forced to bring them home!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282822 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 15:00:47 +0000 Mo 282822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, yep - there's buttons on the cuffs, epaulets, and that one on the back. It has a little tab right there. I like it! It's not where I'd sit on it, so I'm not worried about that lol.<br /> Marley, you're too kind! My legs are average I'd say and I'm 5' 4 1/2" so not technically petite. In fact, I've found petite tops don't fit; only in coats or jackets do petites fit me. Lucky me seems to be exactlly in between petite and regular tops and small and xs. No wonder I often find a juniors small or medium instead . . . </p> <p>I never went looking for a trench ever before and now that I have this one I sure hope it gets used! I do know that the silver and black are so much more me than a usual beige version so I have hope </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282760 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 06:36:24 +0000 AJ 282760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oohhh, very nice, but is that a button on the back with the pleats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282745 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 06:10:57 +0000 Marley 282745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this looks great on you! For some reason I have never thought of you as petite - I think it must be your beautiful long legs - I've always assumed you were around 5'7" or so! But petite, huh? Its going to take me a couple of days to wrap my brain around that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282743 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 06:06:38 +0000 Reneeb 282743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good find and the pleat in the back is adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282688 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:48:14 +0000 Vix 282688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me a pleated back + a great fit, but mega-markdown is always a bonus...enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282687 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:47:42 +0000 Bookarella 282687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful bargain!

I think the pleats are fun, too. But I'm most in love with the silver hardware (of course). Actually, the fact that it fits me to a T is the biggest thrill, along with the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trench-that-found-me#post-282523 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 00:13:52 +0000 catgirl 282523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice find, Mo!

Big sigh - ahhh. I was at Goodwill donating a top I'd been waffling on. Went next door to the dept. store that was having a sale, merely to window shop. No real list in mind other than vague ideas of a white tee if it popped out at me. What did grab me was a trench I'd tried on once before, when it was at half price, and put back several weeks ago. I just had to go don it once again and found it was another 40% off. So . . . I am now the proud owner of my first ever trench coat. And it even has silver metal buttons just for me Oh, and it's an actual 4P so no tailoring needed - hallelujah!!!! Just had to share </p>
