What winter coat for post pregnant size 14 apple shape?

I think I am an apple shape (ish) since having DS 6 months ago I have failed to lose the lumpy bits so along with my ample BFing boobs my stomach is still out of shape and wobbly and my hips and arse are bigger than I would like...I think I am probably a size 14, 12 stone and only 5ft 3inches.
I am a realist - I know that I am not going to lose the 2 stone I would like to lose immediately and I need a winter coat that doesn't make me look like a sack 'o' spuds over the next few months.
Can anyone advise what I should be looking for - I have tried so many and look awful in all of them so obviously am not trying on the right sort of coat!
Can anyone help?!

Aww I'm a similar shape and the same weight and I struggle with coats too. Trenches usually look shit on me, as does anything double-breasted. Cocoons are out and duvet types although I have one

I'm still looking for my perfect coat. Even when I look on net a porter I never see anything I think would look good on me :(

I have this Coast coat & it is pretty flattering.
