Leather jacket for hour glass shape?

Help me! I've been searching for a leather jacket for years. Years and years! I'm small (5"2) with big bewbs (double D) and am slim 8 to ten but with curvy thighs/bum. Every jacket I try makes me look like a frump or Grant Mitchell. I've tried waterfall style = frumpsville, USA. Double breast = boxy. No collar = like a teeny robot.

I just want the perfect jacket I can grow old with. Willing to break the bank a bit as it will be a lifetime purchase.

Help me realise my dream people!

Have you looked at Pepperberry? Designed for big boobs so might work - you buy for your waist size with a level of curviness appropriate to your boobs

OK, so this isn't real leather, BUT..it has these brilliant stretchy panels down the arms and sides which means that it hugs your figure in a really feminine and flattering way, and doesn't look boxy like normal biker jackets. I have it in the navy and it's great. It will be a good length on you too. I'm 5ft 5 and it's a teensy bit short on me, so should be ok for you.

Statistically so there's no jackets I like but there are a few dresses that have caught my eye! I'm a big fan of a wrap dress so thank you for the tip Wine

Mrslebon that jacket is beautiful- I'm a bit funny about faux leather but it looks really good quality and I love the colour. Just having a closer look. Thank you Cake

I know you didn't like collarless, but this shape is gorgeous on an hourglass

The other thing I've found to work (i'm bigger than you but big boobs, small waist, big hips) is a cropped leather biker but they're not that easy to find.

Pepperberry have done a few leather jackets over the last few years, they often pop up new on ebay so worth keeping en eye even if the current season ones don't appeal

Massimo Dutti very good, or sometimes Mango for a third of the price

Oh no way! Totally worth trying in store - there were loads of the tan one in my local store recently. Maybe worth phoning M&S customer services to ask them to help you track it down? I know what you mean about faux leather but it really is lovely and soft on. I'm so pleased with mine and my friend with bigger boobs than me loves hers too.

Hi Rufus - what did you go for in the end? I've had my eye on that Massimo Dutti indigo leather too, but wondering what it looks like in RL.....
