So, if I were a female Sherlock Holmes...

[ElephantsAndMiasmas]

...(in the manner of Cumberbatch), what coat would I be wearing?

I have a massive crush on Sherlock's coat and would love something similar to smarten me up a bit. Needs to have a decent cut or belt at the waist and a collar I can put up (of course) :o.

I am 5'6'' with a more or less hourglass figure (big boobs, slim waist, big bum). Budget, erm, absolute top £200ish for something that will last.

Any ideas on where to look?

Thanks!

Any idea what sort of coat it is, even?

Is it really long?

With your figure I would look for something like this - which isn't probably very Sherlock, but it would be flattering and smart.

£££ but has an impressive collar and looks a lovely shape.

Gosh that Reiss one is a bit lovely isn't it? (Thanks for helping btw!) If only I could afford it...

Only worry with Asos one is that sometimes full skirts can emphasise the bum too much, whereas a straighter line would distract from it?

The one Cumberbatch wears to such devastating effect is from Belstaff and therefore costs ££££££££.

I like that Reiss one. It might go into the sale ... [optimist emoticon]

It's no longer available from Belstaff anyway

Anyone else think they're missing a trick there??

One of Joe Browns? Like this or this?

Isn't it? The last I heard, it had gone out of production but they had so much demand after the first series of Sherlock that they started making it again.
