Smart winter coat - curvy frock-wearer

[mistressploppy]

Anyone know who's doing nice winter coats this year? I really can't wear the cocoon shape (I'm nearly 6ft, size 14, curvy/pearshaped) - I just look enormous. I've got a parka thingy for doing normal stuff but I need a posher option for work dos and evenings. I love the white one that Kate Middleton wore - fromberkshiretobuckingham.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/kate-turns-31-what-is-she-getting-this.html

Basically it needs to nip in a bit and be classic and boring so I can wear it for at least 5yrs! Budget £350 ish

Are you actually after a pale colour?

this is very nice
dull

not pale

Long?
maybe?
another

No specific coat advice but I'm the same size/ shape as you and I find coats in french connection really well cut. Also worth a look in Reiss size L sadly.

Ohhhh, MrsLettuce, those Hobbs ones are LOVELY, thank you so much! I did try on a couple of Hobbs ones the other day and nearly went for one - this one, but those 'coming soon' ones look nicer. I have put me name down
