Perhaps by stylish but...is there an adult version of this coat?!

I saw the cutest emerald green duffle coat in next for little girls with a navy and multicoloured lining with a pencil print. I really really want it! Or very similar. I've googled and not getting much. Any ideas?!

By = not in my title! I recognise the modelling your preferences on chns clothes isn't stylish :)

My daughter and I often have this dilemma!

We often see children's clothes that we love.

Sometimes if the are made for older children not teens we can get some to fit, especially my daughter.

You could look for fabric and make yourself a coat or get a dressmaker to make you one.

Look on Etsy for quirky clothing too.

Yeah I saw that when i searched. It's ok but has a dull lining. Also not too duffle coat like despite being called a duffle coat. Thanks tho

I'm wanting the same! I want it fitted rather than straight down, my daughter had a lovely purple boden duffle a few years back I was very jealous Blush

Glad it's not just me! I'm a short one too so can't do a full length duffle. Will have a search on etsy. I'm the most unskilled person ever, no chance of me making a coat!

If you can afford it the Gloverall coats are brilliant imho, I'm still bereft that my father accidentally burned mine (it was a nice heavy cream one Sad) by accidentally dropping it behind the dryer years ago.

There's this raincoat version on asos in a bright green and whilst not green there are a few nice bright short and fitted discounted ones in the Gloverall outlet, do note their sizing is quite unique. They also do the classic duffle for kids in a myriad of colours.

A dry cleaner could change the lining, if it an important part of the look for you.
