I will look and see if there is a medium black, there seems to be 3 fittings, regular, petite and plus, do these matter to you?

Am I missing something here... couldn't you get Wiki a black medium and you have her small? Confused

Nah, that would be too straight forward.

The lands end one lacks fashionable credibility, imo. Go for black North Face and maybe team with a black patent bayswater?It may be snowing but it still pays to look good.

I do prefer the Landsend one to the NorthFace plus more colour, am so so so so bored with black
Have just ordered off US site.
Shipping to UK.
In total about £130 so not bad, I would have paid more than that if I had ended up buying the Northface one that I didn't even want
Got the size and fit I wanted, plus the colour
Should take 7-9 working days
Hope don't get stung too much for duty
quite excited now

I have that Lands End coat in petite XS (Blue) - I am an 8-10 generally. It fits fine on me so you could try an XS?

DarrellRivers · 01/12/2010 20:25

Have ordered the XS/petite
In aubergine, which am now slightly panicking about, but that is my neurosis kicking in

It is an outlet so it generally has the old stuff that is on sale, so I don't think it has the chevron down coat.
Sorry wf, look at the us site
Thanks PD, just want it to get here now
