Ready steady shop... Help needed!

Today I went shopping for an outfit for a funeral on Thursday.

I know I have left this a bit late, but the death in the family hasn't left me in the best frame of mind for shopping.

I finally managed to get myself a dress, but finding a black coat, which I thought would be easy, turned out to be the most painful shopping experience ever!

The only black coats I could find were biker jackets.
There were some really nice coats, in grey, red, green... but look for black and nope, nothing! It's as if they don't exist.

Anyway I have been searching online tonight and whilst I can find black, there isn't really anything, I think would be suitable for under £100 anyway (and even then its a bit much)

I am preferably looking for a black, to knee length coat, belted at the waist, ideally (not a must have) with a flared (ish) bottom.

Can anybody help me in my search.

Thanks all xx

PS. The funeral is Thursday but Wednesday I will be travelling all day, So I need to have it Tuesday. xx

Hobbs ?

Lobster, the OP specified 'for less than £100.'

Thank you @mnahmnah 2 of those I looked for and both not available in my size (8). This is another of the issues I had today!!

I'm not doing very well at all.

I found a Hobbs coat on eBay (even willing to buy good condition second hand) but they can't get it delivered in time as the auction ends a day later than required.

How irritating. Where are you? I have various Hobbs size 8 coats.

Anywhere near Kent and you are welcome to this.

I'm having issues PM ing. Tunbridge Wells. Say £90?

Lobsterquadrille2 · 04/02/2019 07:43

It was £300 but bought by my sort of mother in law. It's perfectly lovely for a funeral x

Let me speak to the OH and see if I can get to TW x
