I bought this coat... The colour is more vibrant than the full length pics show (my 10yr old was the photographer). Slightly concerned my youngest thought it was a dressing gown...

I have to say that it drowns you a bit. The colour is better in the second photos but I think I would take it back

Oly4 · 15/02/2020 17:46

I think it’s unflattering, sorry

LuxuryWoman2020 · 15/02/2020 17:46

It does rather swamp you, I’d return it.

Girlintheframe · 15/02/2020 17:47

It looks a bit too big on you which isint very flattering

Girlintheframe · 15/02/2020 17:48

Colour looks good on you though!

Annasgirl · 15/02/2020 17:49

No, it reminds me of a coat I had as a child - I hated the colour then and I still hate it. Really doesn't suit anyone bar olive skinned, tall, thin, Italian women. I am none of those.

It’s supposed to be oversized isn’t it?

Sorry should have said, it is advertised and I bought it to be oversized.

Love an oversized coat! You look fab GrinGrin

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 15/02/2020 18:34

I like it, I love big coats.

MoltonSilver · 15/02/2020 18:35

Dressing gown.

emilybrontescorsett · 15/02/2020 18:36

I like it.

Happygirl79 · 15/02/2020 18:38

It looks far to big for you and overwhelms your frame

VodkaRevelation · 15/02/2020 18:40

I think you could get a smaller size and have an oversize look that fits better.

StarlightLady · 15/02/2020 18:43

Sorry, but it reminds me of a dressing gown.

mynamesmrdiggety · 15/02/2020 18:45

No

thickwoollytights · 15/02/2020 18:46

Dreadful (sorry)

Orchidflower1 · 15/02/2020 18:46

I think it looks “too big” rather than over size. I think the way it pulls in your waist when it’s tied up looks out of proportion. Can you get a size down?

ViserionTheDragon · 15/02/2020 18:53

I think something more tailored would look better on you.

Sagradafamiliar · 15/02/2020 18:55

Love it.

olivehater · 15/02/2020 19:44

I think oversize can work if it is expensive, but the quality of this looks poor so it just looks bad. It Looks crumpled and cheap.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 15/02/2020 19:47

I like oversize but not the waist belt. It’s that which makes it look like a dressing gown.
