Im a size 12-14 (big boobs) and had ordered a size 14 but have just got an email to say they are out of stock now Xmas Sad but they have a size 12 available.How does the sizing come up and could i get away with a 12?
Thanks in advance .

If its the padded parka type - I found it unflattering across my bust, bit on the tight side. But I know others found it ok. Is it a free P&P and returns - you could get it and try it on for size and return?

thanks TracyK. Its this type.www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/B0061JOREE/ref=dp_image?ie=UTF8&s=sports&img=MAIN&color_name=2 I dont think its too padded...

Oh the padded one I tried on was more padded than that one. You should be fine in the 12 of that one, looks more like the one I eventually got the Thelma. The problem I found with the Thelma is that the inside material feels really cold and not cosy like a padded one would be. As long as you can get free returns go for the 12.

did it feel warm after wearing it for a while...rerally need a very warm coat and im getting a bit lost wuth all on offer.I dont like the puffa style ones and like it at least mid thigh but pref knee length - not too difficult as im only 5ft !

Have you seen the merrel haven? It is not stylish but it is really warm and very waterproof - I am on my third winter of wearing it in extreme temperatures(minus 15) lashing rain (walking to school and back 2 miles) and it has always kept me warm and dry. I am 5th and it is just above my knees I think.

5ft not 5th

No it stays cold. But it has no pad in it at all.

I've got the coat, but I'm not blessed in the boob department, but wanted to say it is fab - in fact I've just posted that on another thread. I have the 12 and I would say there is plenty of room for boobs in it. In fact I wondered about going down a size but couldn't be bothered/have broad shoulders so stayed with it.

It arrived today.It will go back tomorrow Sad the sleeves are very long on me and bunch up and look odd.ARGH!!!
