I recently ordered this coat online from Hobbs. I have never paid so much for a coat in my life and still get panicky when I think about it. It's a lovely coat and it looks good on. My problem is that I'm not sure about the fit. It looks as if it fits perfectly, but I can feel the pull in my shoulders when I put my arms in front of me, and the sleeves pull up too short. I haven't tried it yet with a jumper, but I suspect it will be too tight. I would go up a size, but Hobbs have sold out. And, actually, the next size up might be too big on me and I might lose the coat's nice slimming outline.
Now I'm in a quandary about whether to keep the coat or send it back. I'm wondering too if I should get a cheaper smart coat so that I can afford a casual coat too.
Can anyone help me sort my head out? What would you do?
