*Are you my puffy?*

The Bernardo arrived. I think it might be too big. It feels awful roomy. What do y'all think?

First pic is my current Bernardo.

It's a little hard to see, but the shoulders look like they're in the right place; same with the sleeves. Is it the body that seems loose to you? It looks great to me. Of course, if it is too loose it won't be warm, and if it's too tight you won't be able to move.

I don't think it looks bad but it looks more curvy style than maybe you need, whereas I always need pear- shape room. So it depends on how strictly you are shape- shopping.

Yes, mostly it's the body. There's a lot of room inside. The shoulders could be a millimeter smaller, but they're pretty much on. The coat has a lot of shape tho, so I don't think the roomy fit shows that much. But you're right - the thing is, I don't feel warm.

Did you try it with the layers you'll wear with it?

It's *plenty o' room* with a sweater under. I'm thinking I should really size down. The year before the brown, I did a small too.

I'm kinda addicted to Bernardo puffies. I want it to work, hehe.

Ok, see if it's a size thing. But it does need to feel right- cozy and comfortable. Sometimes a maker changes the cut in a new year model, though.

It looks good but you should try the size down.

Rachy, I think the color is nice. I wanted to comment on that because that was one of the original concerns with the longer coat, right? I kind of like the curvy looking fit but it isn't good if it doesn't feel cozy or warm. I agree with everyone who says to order a smaller size.

Great potential, Rachy. Try a size down. AND try this one before the sale ends.

I like the look of it, and agree with you that you should size down if it feels too roomy.

Do try a size down- it does seem shaped/wide through the body.

Come to think of it, I had to size down in my Bernardo puffer vest much to my shock and amazement; DD took my normal size. We tend to be at both ends of PS so I needed the PXS and she took the PS. Hope you can find your size at this point. Have them call around and to start calling from the BOTTOM of their list. Everyone starts calling from the top, and then they get sick of calling. Several times my stuff has been found in Anchorage -- at the bottom of their list.
