Here she is - www.hm.com/gb/product/14712/?article=14712-A&cm_mmc=pla--gb--ladies_hm_plus_jackets-_-14712&gclid=CPH026HdoroCFVMdtAodJGsANg

I saw this mentioned in a Jezebel shopping feature and fell in love with it, here if you're interested jezebel.com/fall-fashion-shopping-list-what-do-you-want-to-add-to-1447909914 lots of eye candy! I love the Anthroplogie dress further down the page.

I am currently a large 18/small 20, but successfully losing weight on the 5:2 diet. My tummy is still the biggest part of me though and I always choose long jackets for that reason.

Do you think this style could be flattering on an apple shape?

Also do you think the jacket would still look nice if I did manage to drop a few dress sizes? (Smallest option is an 18, but I'm thinking of a 20 so I could wear it straight away.)

Oooh that is very nice. I have never bought from H&M+ so I don't know if their sizing is more acurate, but general H&M sizing is a nightmare, I am a 12 and have things in pretty much every size from an 8 to a 20.

Post two children and my tummy has never recovered, but I find cropped jackets and cardi's flattering, am very tall though, don't know if that makes a difference.

Should you order it, 0560 gives you 25% off and 1304 another fiver, making it just £21 (+ p&p).

Thank you Gobblers Smile

Yes, I'd like to try it on in a store, but there are none near me. I might get it then, it would be a bit different for me.

I think worn with a long top it'll suit your shape. But be warned h and m sizing is rubbish. If you can afford to do it order a 20 and a 22 and return one. I find they're normally at least a size out - sometimes a lot more. This applies to their plus size range too. I'm a 16-18 and I have a pair of trouser from there in a 22!

And someone else on the Jezebel thread said that her jacket was way too big and she had to go down three sizes!!

I think it's being despatched soon, I didn't order anything else, so hopefully it will still be in stock if I need to return.
