I'm a bit unsure. I have big hips and a big chest huge bum too but want something weather proof, rather than the usual pea coat.

Also wondered if Barbour sizes are generous or skimpy? Going to go for a 14 to be on the safe side I think.

I think it would be ok for boobs but not hips...

I really like the style, I just think it's a bit straight shaped from the picture - I find that cuts like that cling to my hips and stay thick looking at my waist.
I have a similar Barbour waterproof which has elasticated bits at the waist giving it more shape, it's really flattering. I'll try and find it online.

I can't find one quite the same. This is probably similar, it seems to have the elastic bit in the middle - if it's the same as mine you can adjust it from the inside to give it a little more shape and give more of a waist. www.julesb.co.uk/barbour-mainline-lowmoore-waterproof-jacket-p814031/s872706?gclid=Cj0KCQjwruPNBRCKARIsAEYNXIgqk81xVGHt9fprORd3EvkjMBeKlA-TSnBr1U6Z8TOvbRiVKHA0N80aAuxvEALw_wcB
