annoying isn't it?

In the past I've found Tchibo stuff to be small - had to order size 14/16 underwear when I am a 12 really (occasionally a 14) - so if I were you I'd order the bigger one, or at least order both to be on the safe side.

I am spending today and it is ALL YOUR FAULT.

twirlaround · 26/10/2005 14:06

Only good on tall thin lasses

Gobbledispook · 26/10/2005 14:28

I love the original one you posted by Firetrap - I'd wear it.

OrribleOliveoil · 27/10/2005 13:17

I have just been to Gap and bought the one Foxinsocks recommended - it is just what I wanted!

THANK YOU THANK YOU

Waterproof, down filled so nice and light, hood, cuffs, and down to me knees.

Dd1 actually has the sort of same one from Baby Gap so we can walk up the road looking the same which is cute/vomit inducing (delete as applicable).

coddy - based on your kew fixation, I went into one of their stores last week. I tried on a few of coats - which were very nice. I know I have some weight to lose....but those coats are sized very small....or I am seriously delusional about my size. Hope it's the former!

Try Zara, tons of stuff in there. I was strayed from my 'buggy' coat towards a 'work' coat in there but managed to refrain.

Jaeger is ££££££££££££££££ though. MaxMara is also ££££££££ but nicer I think, classic ones in there.

I have seen a fabulous dress in the window of MaxMara and it is dangerously close to my office. I haven't dared to even venture in as I will not be able to afford it and will try and justify to myself how I could.

If you have that budget I would go and splurge, but don't go too fashiony as you will want a clasic.

Get me, coming over all Trinny & Susannah.

ks, what about this one from Hobbs?

long double breasted coat

I have tried on one of their 3/4 length coats and they are very slim-fitting and tight to the waist - suspect it is a general fit thing.

Or Joseph do trendy coats around £300 mark?
