Hope the returns are free as the came in huge boxes and are very heavy!

I love that coat! @neveradullmoment in terms of size they don't look much different to me. Try them on with a typical jumper? ( unless you plan to always wear your pjs?)

My boden coats are coming between 11.39 and 12.39! My hush clara in red and jigsaw velvet Richmond s have arrived and I'm going to do a big try on once coats are here. Exciting but expensive...

Btw @neveradullmoment99 all sizes are out of stock now both at hush and at JL so people will be waiting for returns

They dont look much different. They 12 is more comfy. The 10 is neater on the arms.

Beautiful Coat never!!! I’m excited to see mine now.
I think I prefer the 10 on you unless you plan to wear lots of thick layers underneath in which case the 12 would be best...not a huge difference between them open but belted up I prefer the 10.

Yes. Me too.Thank you 😁

@never it's lovely! I think the 10.

@Huffthepuff I LOVE the velvet jacket on you, keep

The 12 doesn't sit as well fastened up. The waist seems lower and the shoulders bigger. The collar is fussier.

Oooh I can see my postman with a Hush box!

Its so thick i dont think i would need multi-layers under it.

@neveradullmoment99 I love the coat and think the 10 is the better fit. Looks lovely.

@never then go for the 10

I’ve just posted back a Pelle coat in a 12 so it will be reappearing soon. The 14 I have coming on Monday will also go straight back. Just not me at all.

Thats a shame @Ilovecherries. I'm not 100% on mine but more to do with the fact i have a few coats.
Well £80 the richer👍

Im keeping the 10. I love it with skirts. Tried on and its a keeper👍

never yy the size 10 as well, looks really lovely on you.
That’s a shame cherries but if it’s not right then best to send it back straight away.

Sorry you didn’t like it cherries but I totally ❤️ See attached in a 10 too. It is the right size as being shorter the 12 would have swamped me...having said that this would be the longest coat I would own...superb heavy quality.

Other keepers: The Black top with thumbs (is it velour?) very cosy for Pilates. Shown here with new leggings (also keepers! They are long but easy to fold up).
Look they also look good with the slinky skirt (well I think so maybe you don’t).

Going back: same velour top in blue. Meh colour on my skin tone.
Felix dress in red. Not feeling the love, doesn’t do anything for my shape even though 10 was the right size/choice. It’s lovely quality but not for me.
The boat neck long sleeved top (new collection) is basically just a long very very long on me thin T shirt so overpriced even in the sale...doesn’t work with skirts at all.
Velour trousers: Yuck and HUGE in a S. I mean like 3 sizes too big.
Magic Black T shirt. Nothing special. Thin t shirt fabric and even with my love of magical things Not worth the sale price...I’d repurchase if it was around £18 but otherwise No.

Finally the bell sleeve v neck top which I thought may work with the velvet and satin skirts but again it’s too long. It is nice but I have other v neck black tops that fulfill similar purposes. This would work well if you’re taller or if you want to wear it with trousers but that’s not why I ordered it.

So keeping coat, leggings and velour top only. I still have one more parcel to come next Monday so will report back 👌

Coat looks fabulous on you🤩 love the leggings and the top looks great👍

Thank You never! It is superb quality I’m so glad I ordered!
The leggings are great too and the velour black top is very lux and cozy 👌

@SoyYo love the coat! Sounds like you made the right decisions about the others too.
My boden coats came and I tried them on. The Pym was gross ( huge and collar swamped me), the Wilbraham was better but not sure about the size ( advice was to go up a size but I think it's too big though fits on shoulders). I loved the plum coat which I thought was the Stanhope but having wondered about the poppers I checked and they sent me a Hengrave ( marked up as a Stanhope) by mistake so the will express send the correct coat and I can have a proper try on Monday. Which is annoying because Monday Morning is the only time this week I can send stuff back and the coats are about £150 each with the discount and I can't afford it!
@Ellapaella didn't you get a hengrave recently?

Incidentally the Hush clara came and I love the colour but think it may be larger than the grey clara I got earlier. Going to try both on again and see. I'm not sure about the fit

Also I ordered sale price Jigsaw Richmond velvet jeans and I really like them. Definitely skinny, but very comfortable and I think I will keep them but did just a fast try on in between busyness.funny because until last year I'd never had a pair of skinny jeans and now I seem to have at least 4 pairs!
