Trying the Laudry boucle coat in burgundy.
It looks better on Ummlila, but....
I tried it because of the slight fit through the waist, and the great color, and the texture.
I love those aspects of it.
Here's where need your critique please:
--Is it too fitted for pear-ness (may be made more for rectangle). I would wear it open mostly since I'm just grab & go that way, but would want to zip when chilly.
--Are the sleeves too long? Pic 1 shows arm down full length. I never thought to try Petite, would have to be PM, I guess. I am not going to alter them. On the model they're shown rather short. I can "cuff" them, due to zips, but that's not its best look
--Do you think it works with pants and with pencil skirts, though an "unusual" length? I just tossed it on over random items-- pants in winter tend to be hemmed longer and worn over ankle boots, but the skirt-tights look is pretty typical. I put on a heavier knit sweater how well it would layer--it does, though thinner knits sweaters and blouses fit more comfortably.
Shown last is for reference, my Yoana Baraschi gray jacket that would somewhat "split wears" with the Laundry coat, except that they're color opposites-I tend not to wear the gray topper with gray tops & bottoms, whereas the burgundy would go well over gray and black, and the burgundy would not go as well over other berry colors that are "too close but not" in color, so for those I wear the gray (or other coat).
What say the eagle-eyed Fabbers?
