Warm and water proof coat for pear shape

4 replies

LakeFlyPie · 03/10/2020 11:17

I have been looking for a mid length coat for dog walking, school runs etc, needs to be waterproof, breathable and warm (bonus would be a hood which folds into collar).
I like the look of various Didriksons coats but fear the shape and cut of them would be extremely unflattering on my very pear shaped body (5'6"), size 12-14 upper body but big bum and bigger hips / saddlebags.
I think the longer length is the unflattering aspect so maybe I'll have to accept wet legs!

I'd be grateful for any recommendations TIA

The Rain range at Seasalt. I've got an almost knee length one I think is called Plant Hunter, and inside are cords so you can pull the waist to be more fitted.

Thanks for the suggestions, I've ordered a couple of Seasalt versions and will return one of them. Was delighted to learn that they are offering 25% discount to NHS staff so that clinched it as I did wince a bit at the price!
