Have you sufficiently layered under the coats? How does it feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501664 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:07:59 +0000 cciele 501664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Lady Day coat -- the tailoring looks sharp on you! I think the length is fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501603 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:58:46 +0000 Angie 501603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer coats 4 to 6. I vote keep that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501589 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:50:48 +0000 Isabel 501589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE both. I just am loving all the color going on on the site right now !!!</p> <p>Let's see....the first one does look as if you could layer more comfortably under it. A vest, a denim jacket, and so on.</p> <p>The second looks a bit more tailored. So it really comes down to how you want to wear your coat.</p> <p>Good Luck ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501574 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:34:15 +0000 MNsara 501574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only the first pic of each coat has the puffer vest. </p> <p> No, I don't think I'll wear it over a puffer vest. It was Claire's tongue-in-cheek recommendation for us bustless ladies Although it mimicks as maximum volume I'd wear underneath.</p> <p>Having a bust would help take up the chest space, wouldn't it?! </p> <p>I have hips, so I take up all the hip space. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501570 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:29:45 +0000 Angie 501570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much better! </p> <p>Are you really wearing a puffer vest under that coat, and is that how you want to layer underneath it, Sara? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501547 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:04:28 +0000 Suz 501547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tricky, then, isn't it? I like the first coat for its fit and details, but agree the second might be more practical. Oh dear. </p> <p>But either way, the colour is fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501542 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:58:58 +0000 MNsara 501542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire - yup, the puffer fills in what I don't naturally own - if you get my drift ;-)</p> <p>Thanks, jayne - hmm, the Lady also gives me a bit more hip room</p> <p>Diane, rae - I DO like those pockets</p> <p>Kim - I know what you mean!</p> <p>Parsley - good point. Somewhere I read that these are not terrifically warm coats even with the Thinsulate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501532 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:42:26 +0000 Parsley 501532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both look good, and since the appearance doesn't seem to be hugely different, what about the other factors?</p> <p>If you need this to be a warm coat (you did live in Minnesota, right?), then I would pick the Lady coat because of the thinsulate, and I don't know about you, but I really like to be able to put my hands in my pockets, and the Lady coat is also better for that, from what I can see.<br /> (Edited because I had the 2 confused) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501530 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:29:39 +0000 Queen Mum 501530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>every time I click through, I change my mind about which one I like better. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with either. They are both stunning on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501465 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:26:31 +0000 rae 501465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for the Metro. The Lady Day seems like the waist may be set up too high. Really pretty color on you, either way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501463 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:23:21 +0000 diane 501463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with elisabeth on the pocket comment. Nice bit of styling. But that color is FAB beyond FAB! The sleeve length on the Metro maybe needs shortening a bit, but I didn't really notice it until you pointed it out, so just keep your arms waving overhead!!! The Lady Day is a fine length in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501447 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 06:46:23 +0000 jayne 501447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going against the crowd to say I like the second coat better. It makes more of an hourglass on you. The other one felt wrong to my eye but I did wonder if it was the camera angle. </p> <p>But I LOVE the color of both. You are gonna feel so happy in the color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501402 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:27:16 +0000 Anonymous 501402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the first one...I can't believe you tried it with a puffer vest underneath! Cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501393 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:17:11 +0000 MNsara 501393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Deborah, Denice, Amy and elisabeth - you're in agreement prefering the Metro! If this keeps up, it will be easier for me . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501365 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:45:43 +0000 Aziraphale 501365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh! They're both great -- love the colour!</p> <p>I think I like #1 a little better becasue of the flap pockets. It looks like it fits better too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501351 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:38:23 +0000 Amy 501351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first coat best too. One of the first things I look at is where the shoulder seams hit, and they look perfect there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501341 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:33:49 +0000 CocoLion 501341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first coat wins my vote. Better fit and length, looks sharper and more stylish to my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501337 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:29:58 +0000 Deborah 501337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry I missed the earlier post but looking at both of these I cannot put my finger on exactly why, but the first coat looks the best to me. I like the pocket detail. In fact I think it is the details in the first coat that make it stand out out to me. The buttons on the sleeve appear more spaced out and the additional button down the front of the coat creates a better sense of balance. I dont know either label but #1 looks to be a better quality coat to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vibrant-flame-coat-take-2#post-501335 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:19:40 +0000 MNsara 501335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, the sun cooperated a little today and I tried new pics. I can't edit the original post, so I'll start over here. . .</p> <p>I think I switched my fave, but I'm still not saying, nor am I convinced. . .so I'll eagerly await your thoughts :-)</p> <p>pics 1-3: Metro coat (pic 1 has Claire's idea of puffer vest underneath!) </p> <p>Pics 4-6: Lady Day Coat (pic 4 has the puffer underneath it)</p> <p>Metro definitely needs the sleeves shortened. Lady Day might benefit from letting down the hem an inch.</p> <p>Other alterations I would need to check into feasibility and cost.</p> <p>Thanks again (and always) for your help!! </p>
