style gurus please, I would like opinions

I am loving at least two coats atm

"would this suit a shorty/32f busted type?"

I am a bit concerned about the two horizontal buttons

I also like the red woollen swing style

I'd have thought double breasted bit of a no-no for norky types

Aefondkiss · 05/09/2007 11:07

thank you bundle...yes I know, but sigh, it is so lovely and those buttons are so close together and well under the bust... okay I know but what are my options?

that coat in the Op is the most boring coat i have ever seen

this

and this

ae what i like

Hmmm, might be OK because of V neck, depends where the buttons lie really. if they are too high up you run the risk of the whole coat hanging off your norks and making you look pg.

Lovely coat though

Aefondkiss · 05/09/2007 11:17

I think peacocks/primark have some nice ones, you just have to be selective. gap sometimes have some nice lightweight ones too.

Naily, am loving the pink coat

Hurlyburly · 05/09/2007 11:50

AEF - sorry don't think so - coat is okay - bit dull possibly - but definitely not for a norky type - also definitely not for a shortish person

MrsSpoon · 05/09/2007 11:58

I tried this on the other day and it works really well with norks (I've expanded to a 32FF ), I'm tempted to buy it.

Aefondkiss, tis close (deep v, nipped in), but ideally the nip needs to be at the waist not the underbust, and the double-breasted is a real no-no. Sorry
