Can you find me this coat...

I want a long winter coat, fitted, I'd quite like one with a belt, i quite like navy blue but not set on it, don't want black though.

I tried this one on today and really liked it but it's just out of my budget. I can afford to pay £100 max. Has anyone seen any similar anywhere else?

It's a really nice coat. Shame to miss out if it's just over your budget. Could anyone give you some money towards it as a xmas present?

Funnily enough I did try that one on as well! Because it doesn't have buttons and just does up by tying the belt both me and DS thought it looked like a dressing gown when i was wearing it! And the belt didn't stay done up very well so I think the coat would come open.

So I need to add to my list of requirements, must have means of doing up such as buttons!

My mum said she'd buy a coat for me for Christmas and her budget is £60, and I can afford to add about £30-40 myself.

Oh I see, yes I think it would get annoying only having a belt and wouldn't look right if you wanted to wear it undone. Oh such a shame to miss out on that Debenham coat.

I will carry on looking for you.

Hell Bunny do nicely fitted coats, done with belts, most have buttons.

I have a long fitted coat from them, it makes me look slimmer and it swishes elegantly.

Thank you for searching for me! I quite like the oasis and next ones, think another trip into town is needed to see how a shorter one looks.

That's ok - I'm having some me time hiding away from the kids. Skint until payday so may as well Internet shop for someone else!

What size?

iwouldgoouttonight · 27/11/2016 17:12

I'm between size 12 and 14, the one in Debenham's fitted better in a 14.

Do you like this? It's not mine by the way, I've been watching it and it looks in fab condition but I think it might be a bit big for me based on the description

That does look nice Paddington but I really wanted something a bit more fitted around the waist.
