To this coat:

www.laredoute.co.uk/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=324121627&&DocumentId=221807&&CompanyId=R&& source=12&&csppid=324121624

Love it, but worry the embroidery may be a bit much.
Any opinions are appreciated.

love the style, not so keen on the embroidery tho. i think its mainly the colour of it really, stitching, for me .

mamama · 03/09/2007 00:21

I don't think I would wear it but I like that it is a bit different.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend has this coat - even worse in 'real-life' than in the piccy.

Desiderata · 03/09/2007 00:53

I like the shape, but the white on brown embroidery doesn't work at all.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/09/2007 00:55

oh good lord no.

Its awful.

TnOgu · 03/09/2007 00:57

Dreadful.

Desiderata · 03/09/2007 00:59

And I've only just noticed the fucking price ...

Hurlyburly · 03/09/2007 01:00

IME the things you worry about buying generally turn out to be mistakes.

So if you think it might be too loud, you're already predisposed to feel that way wearing it.

As for my opinion - well erm no. Even the model with glossy swingy hair is having trouble carrying this coat off.

You know what happens to white embroidery on the front of a coat don't you...

I say Nul Points.

I really like the shape, collar, colour...everything but the embroidery (and the price!)

love it but not with the embroidery,

twinsetandpearls · 03/09/2007 01:45

I love the shape but I think the embroidery is a bit much on the body and sleeves and I am someone who dresses to be noticed.

flowerybeanbag · 03/09/2007 09:03

Good shape but embroidery is not good I'm afraid.

MrsBadger · 03/09/2007 12:15

good shape
bad embroidery

M&S have good funnelneck coats eg here atm - also french connection.

MrsBadger · 03/09/2007 12:19

and oasis

CatIsSleepy · 03/09/2007 12:20

eek
no way!

jalopy · 03/09/2007 13:10

No. The woman looks as if she's had a fight with a sewing machine.

FrannyandZooey · 03/09/2007 13:11

Yes I looked at that for a while in the catalogue and then decided it would be far too easy to look a total nob in it. But there is something about it, isn't there? Must be the shape as MrsB says.

MyTwopenceworth · 03/09/2007 13:12

I don't like it at all. But then, I'm not very adventurous!!

collision · 03/09/2007 13:14

no...will date quickly and you will have to be choosy what you wear it with.

white against brown is a no no

and too expensive

sorry

collision · 03/09/2007 13:15

The M&S one is nice and a good price too.

tigerschick · 03/09/2007 13:21

Another "NO" vote here, I'm afraid.
It's not something that I would even consider and, as has already been said, if you aren't sure then there is a good chance you will not be comfortable in it and then it won't look right at all.
I like the M&S one that MrsB linked to - both colours are nice.
