I'm normally an 8/10 petite, and wear a 12 petite in the Lady Day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-can-speak-to-the-fit-of-the-j-crew-lady-day-coat#post-1747054 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 22:22:35 +0000 April 1747054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is all very helpful (and much as I suspected from the photos on the website -- it seems like this coat is quite a slim fit in the top, so those itty bitty zero sizes are not for most grown women, even if they're on the smaller side). &nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you to everyone who has chimed in so far, and to anyone who will chime in going forward! &nbsp;Tanya, I will look for your recent posts on this coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-can-speak-to-the-fit-of-the-j-crew-lady-day-coat#post-1747042 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 21:25:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1747042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a burgundy one from about 3 or 4 years ago with thinsulate. I sized up. I have wide shoulders and a large rib cage. I ended up getting rid of the coat because it was so tight when I buttoned it over a sweater or whatever. It was a beautiful coat, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-can-speak-to-the-fit-of-the-j-crew-lady-day-coat#post-1747040 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 21:16:13 +0000 Banoffi 1747040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few Lady Daycoats, but they are 3+ years old. I normally wear a size P4 in J Crew tops and jackets, but sized up to a P6 for the Lady Daycoats. &nbsp;I am an inverted triangle, so I needed to accommodate my shoulders, but the coat is still fitted through the torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-can-speak-to-the-fit-of-the-j-crew-lady-day-coat#post-1747019 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 19:43:29 +0000 Tanya 1747019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi April, I have recently bought it in blue in my usual size, 2. I am on my phone now so I can not link to it but I had a whole K/R post on the coat with lots of details that you can easily find under my recent posts.<br /> Size 2 is my usual size for outerwear, and I found the fit just about right, including shoulders and bust, where the coat is fitted but not snug. I can wear it over light to medium weight sweaters, basically all other than super chunky thick ones. My shoulders are pretty square. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-can-speak-to-the-fit-of-the-j-crew-lady-day-coat#post-1747018 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 19:42:06 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1747018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Lady Day coat with thinsulate is from about 3 years ago, so I'm not sure if the fit has changed since then.&nbsp; I had to size up - but note that I&nbsp;lift weights and my arms are far from skinny.&nbsp; My measurements are 34-28-38 and&nbsp;my coat is&nbsp;size 8 petite.&nbsp; It still is very streamlined on me - I can't put a ton of layers under it.&nbsp; Petite sizing may be more fitted than regular sizing too so maybe a regular sized member can chime in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-can-speak-to-the-fit-of-the-j-crew-lady-day-coat#post-1747016 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 19:30:07 +0000 April 1747016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would anyone who has the J Crew Lady Day coat -- preferably the one with Thinsulate -- be willing to describe the fit? &nbsp;Did you buy your normal size? &nbsp;Did you find the shoulder fit snug? &nbsp;What about the bust, and how did your winter clothes fit underneath? &nbsp;</p> <p>It used to be that dressy winter coats started at a size 2, and even the smallest among us found a 2 quite small enough. &nbsp;With J Crew now offering a 0, a 00, and a 000 in addition to a 2, I'm not sure what to think and I don't want to go through a tedious cycle of purchases and returns, so I turn to the generous ladies of YLF.</p> <p>Any guidance would be much appreciated. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
