Small, curvy hourglass with big boobs... can I get a decent winter coat for under £100?

Every single bloody year I have this problem. I'm 5ft 2 and a asize 12 - 14 with H cups and cannot find a decent winter coar that fits. Current winter coat is 5 years old and falling to bits.

And please, please don't mention Pepperberry - and their clothes are (imo) overpriced and don't fit me very well anyway.

Any suggestions? I will be ridiculously grateful.

I'm the same shape but an 8-10 with big boobs. I've found really nice coats in White Stuff. They are meant to be quite shortish on normal sized people, but are a good length on shorties like us. I've got a navy velvet one and its lovely.

I've also got a North Face coat for when it's really cold.

I got a Peter storm coat I have same boob size as you bit more 10-12 on bott half and same height. It's black and Boring bit wind and waterproof. Come with a removable fleece oninside so good for when it's wet but not cold.

Also have a jacket by superdry, had to get eextra large... Bit it's smart and looks nice.

Oh and I have a coat from fat face that I got last year, still ok now but not as waterproof as it was as dp tried to be helpful and washed it! I think I cam re waterproof it though.

I'm same sort of size as you and same problem here.

I have been looking at this, what do u think?

Maybe the olive green with black leather is a bit over now, but nice shape.

I love my new seasalt northstar coat. I am 5'2 and quite big boobed, size 12. The coat is waterproof, has a hood and reaches my knees.
They have 20% off online now. It was £130 when I bought it, so a good saving now

ARGHtoAHHH · 07/10/2014 08:52

that seasalt northstar coat is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks storynanny!

HopefulHamster · 08/10/2014 16:22

storynanny did you get the size 12? I am a size 12-14, big boobed ish but petite in the shoulders so I was thinking of getting the 12 and hoping for the best as looks like returns are expensive.
