Raincoat for tiny teen with huge boobs! HELP

MedusaIsHavingABadHairDay · 21/11/2012 11:32

DD2 is away at university and once again go absolutely soaked on her 20 min walk to class. She has a warm coat but it's not waterproof and she said her umbrella lasted about 2 seconds in the wind. She was very wet and miserable when she texted me. ( I want my baby home NOW Sad)

I would like to get her a decent coat for Christmas. It needs to be waterproof. It needs to be reasonably trendy as she is 18 and gorgeous of course! It also has to look ok on her.
The problem is she is a size 8 figure with 28J cup boobs (think Dolly Parton!) and nothing fits well, most things look sack like as she has to get bigger to go over the boobs.. which she hates anyway.

We looked in Pepperberry when I visited her but though they had a nice parka it was thin..not winter weight and not waterproof.

I'd rather get her something Barbour-ish that will last, but actually I just want to find anything that will FIT poor kid.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Could you buy a size ten and have it take in so it fits her better?

Finding a good seamstress to adjust something for her is probably your best bet tbh- I have similar bust to your dd but attached to size 14 hips and I still struggle to find coats.

I'd maybe try to find something that is sort of a line from the waist too- it will stop her boobs looking so out of proportion if she is conscious of them.

What about this timberland one ?

Maybe with a Barmah foldaway hat (so it hides in a bag) for when its torrential?
