So last night as I cruised quickly through the mall on an errand, I spied this coat in BR. However, it was the bold black and white animal print version. As Tim Gunn would say, that's a lot of look.

But I was curious about the cut since seeing it in the mint green color, so I popped in to try it on. Well, it is certainly generously cut! I tried it on in a M and it was plenty roomy -- I may have been able to go down to a S but the hip seemed to fit with plenty of ease for possible layering heavier pants and a longer tunic or sweater in the M. I can't address the possible scratchiness factor because the print version is a faux "pony" finish.

It's a pretty cool cut though. It's difficult to say how it REALLY looks because the big cut plus the bold print made it quite overwhelming, and I'm not exactly a tiny woman.

I'm not sure I'll try it in the mint, since I've already bought some things for F/W, and coats are not a pressing need for me, but I thought I'd share my impressions of the cut since many of you seemed interested in it.
