My mum bought DD a coat from next. On the hanger I hated it.

But I tried it on her this morning and its alot nicer on!

It actually really suits her but I'm not sure if I can get past the material an the quiltedness!

what do you think?

She bought her a little red beret too!

Hmm it is a bit odd, but if you can live with it and it's reasonably practical I'd keep it, as it would be nice for your mum to see her wear it. (Unless she's miles away and doesn't see DD much!) They grow out of stuff don't they...

I like it. A lot.

LynetteScavo · 07/08/2010 17:48

No I don't like it.

You did ask!

DinahRod · 07/08/2010 17:48

I like the colour/style but the material is a bit shiney for my taste. Otoh, grandma bought it and dd looks cute...

I like it. Practical, warm and with a hood - and a very nice colour.

I'd rather have this to match her hat

That duffle is lovely! Nice for autumn and spring, but probably not warm enough for winter.

She has other big puffer coats and snow suits for winter Lynette :)

i don't like it at all.
its a bit bianca jackson, looks like its will go up in flames if you go anywhere near anything hot.

i do really like the duffle though and am thinking of that for dd, or the boden version.

that reminds me, i ment to start a threadasking what color scaft to go with this coat...

Am swapping it for the duffle!

Called my mum and asked if it was OK.

Yey!

Don't Look Now springs to mind.

My dd has a red coat (not as shiny) but I love it, it looks great on her. It's no big deal even if it's horrible though, it's only a child's coat!!

duffle coats not as waterproof...

happilyeverafter · 08/08/2010 18:50

No, it's too shiny, makes me think of binbags.

However your DD might look and feel adorable in it which is all that matters.

LibertyGibbet · 08/08/2010 19:14

dd has a beautiful red duffle that I got from a charity shop. We call it her Don't Look Now coat.

It may not be as waterproof but I'd swap. And buy and umbrella.

Rofl gramercy! OP it's a 60s (?) film in which a scary dwarf in a red coat appears at the end.
