And J. Crew, petites. Macys had great petite coats in Sept and Oct. Seems that their stocks are very low at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486618 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:07:40 +0000 Suz 486618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sleeve alterations go with the territory for me, too, Brenda. Although this year I lucked out; I fit perfectly into a regular sized coat, even the sleeves! </p> <p>I love the idea of two coats, to change things up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486612 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:04:15 +0000 MsMary 486612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that sounds great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486607 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:01:24 +0000 qfbrenda 486607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked through the regular coats at Macys and wasn't any more impressed with those than I was the petites. I'm thinking I'm either looking too late in the season or I'm too picky. I really want a knee length, single-breasted, belt-free coat. I'm not looking for anything really trendy that will look dated in two years.</p> <p>If I go with the Penney's coats, the prices are good enough I could get two. I'm thinking of one red and one black/white tweed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486587 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:32:39 +0000 qfbrenda 486587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The waist vs. sleeve alteration is an issue for sure because I'm long waisted. So I try to find petites that put the waist in the right place... easier said than done. I never thought of trying regular sizes and getting the sleeves altered. I don't know where to have that done. I sew, but I think altering a wool coat is beyond my skills.</p> <p>Mochi, I was checking out that exact coat as well. I haven't decided about it. It seems to be 100% wool while Penney's coats are blends. </p> <p>Modgirl, thanks for the suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486558 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:37:42 +0000 modgrl 486558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The nordstrom's ones look very nice and with free shipping both ways they are easier to take for a spin. </p> <p>I was checking out some of the victoria's secret wool coats in petite in their catalog but decided that I don't need a new coat this year: </p> <p><a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265646780295&#038;c=Page&#038;cid=1319078567780&#038;pagename=vsdWrapper" rel="nofollow">http://www.victoriassecret.com.....vsdWrapper</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265645912478&#038;c=Page&#038;cid=1319078567780&#038;pagename=vsdWrapper" rel="nofollow">http://www.victoriassecret.com.....vsdWrapper</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265646655403&#038;c=Page&#038;cid=1319078567868&#038;pagename=vsdWrapper" rel="nofollow">http://www.victoriassecret.com.....vsdWrapper</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265646339903&#038;c=Page&#038;cid=1319078567868&#038;pagename=vsdWrapper" rel="nofollow">http://www.victoriassecret.com.....vsdWrapper</a></p> <p>This LLBean coat looks nice too<br /> <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/70405?feat=506446-GN2" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop.....506446-GN2</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486548 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:08:51 +0000 Mochi 486548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The problem is, jacket and coat sleeves often have all this detail on them...and even if you don't care whether you keep it or not, it's a PITA (pain in the ass) to shorten--zippers are an example. </p> <p>Oh, Brenda, I so feel your pain. I don't know what your price range is, but I was online browsing this morning and saw this:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/george-simonton-studio-lambswool-walking-coat/3176074?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;resultback=5810" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ge.....tback=5810</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486544 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:07:00 +0000 Sylvie 486544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sleeve alterations are much easier than moving up a waistline (that's what I'd need to fit into a regular). I second the suggestion to try regular sizes.</p> <p>Otherwise the Jcrew petite coats are great if you can nab them on sale/at outlet.</p> <p>These aren't available in all sizes, but here are some petite coats from Nordstrom that are under $100</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/guess-double-breasted-coat/3195752" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/gu.....at/3195752</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/guess-pleat-skirt-coat/3237875" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/gu.....at/3237875</a></p> <p>Wool blend petite coats at Macy's online:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/womens/also-shop/petite/petite-apparel/petite-coats?id=57535&#038;edge=hybrid#!fn=FABRIC%3DWool%2520%2526%2520Wool%2520Blend%26sortBy%3DORIGINAL%26productsPerPage%3D100&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/wom.....0&#038;amp</a>;!qvp=iqvp </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486532 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:56:46 +0000 MsMary 486532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That may just be your lot in life, Brenda.

I think it's worth trying in your case, Brenda, since your shoulder line is strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486475 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:45:57 +0000 qfbrenda 486475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rats, I don't think the links worked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486473 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:42:54 +0000 qfbrenda 486473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finding some decent looking options at JCPenneys.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=SIZ&#038;ItemID=1bc4d00&#038;deptid=70656&#038;dep=WOMEN&#038;catid=71981&#038;pcat=WOMEN&#038;cat=Petites&#038;NOffset=0&#038;CatSel=4294953599" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.....4294953599</a>|coats&amp;pcatid=70656&amp;Ne=4294957900+5+23+29+3+8+1031+596+591+585+593+1011+586+904+18+949&amp;N=4294953599&amp;SO=0&amp;cattyp=RLE&amp;Nao=0&amp;PSO=0&amp;bcCat=3&amp;CmCatId=70656|71981</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=SIZ&#038;ItemID=1bc4ca0&#038;deptid=70656&#038;dep=WOMEN&#038;catid=71981&#038;pcat=WOMEN&#038;cat=Petites&#038;NOffset=0&#038;CatSel=4294953599" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.....4294953599</a>|coats&amp;pcatid=70656&amp;Ne=4294957900+5+23+29+3+8+1031+596+591+585+593+1011+586+904+18+949&amp;N=4294953599&amp;SO=0&amp;cattyp=RLE&amp;Nao=0&amp;PSO=0&amp;bcCat=3&amp;CmCatId=70656|71981 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-petites-finding-wool-coats-this-year#post-486461 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:29:54 +0000 qfbrenda 486461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at Macy's yesterday and they had almost nothing. There were two coats in my size and neither worked. The sales associate said they sent her almost no petite coats this year. I just checked their website and it's not much better. I've also checked Landsend and found one possibility. Where else should I look?</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/LuxeWoolCarCoat~227376_48.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Lux.....038;sku_0=</a>::VCA&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_Outerwear-_-Women-_-Petite&amp;origin=index </p>
