Has anyone else bought the Boden washed velvet coat?

I'm lusting after the berry one & can't make up my mind.

no but watching with interest as might in sales.
I do have one similar from White Stuff which is a bit shorter- almost 3/4 length.
I'd be keen to know sizing- tend to be an 8 in Boden tops but 10 in their coats as they seem small fitting.

I'm interested in what length it will be. On the Boden dress-up doll on the site it is above her knee, but I'm 5 ft 4 so would hope it would cover my knees. - I don't want skirts hanging below it & can't do the mini thing.

I have it- usually a 10 but went for a 12 for layers underneath- glad I did it would have been too snug in a 10. I am 5ft 3 and it sits on my knee-longer skirts do hang underneath.
Lovely coat but not really very warm ok if out shopping and in and out of heated shops.

And one of the buttons came off first time on- luckily I didn't lose it.

I got the purple one last season, and I honestly felt like an extra from a panto. I gave it away.
