HELP ME. I have ordered and returned so many coats. I really need a coat now, it's turned cold. I want something warm and waterproof so I've been trying parkas with little success. I am currently a size 16 but more like a 16-18 in coats, it turns out. I would probably be a size 14 if it wasn't for my huge boobs and bum. I do have a waist but it's been swamped by almost every coat I've tried. I have ordered coats from:
Seasalt
North Face
Jack Wolfskin
Protected Species
Danefae
The first three were far too straight up and down, too tight around the bum with no waist. Protected Species was a bit better (lovely coat) but still too tight around the bum. Danefae fit well on the bottom half, drawstring waist, so far so good... but it's absolutely huge on the top half, too big and very unflattering.
The only one that actually fits me well is from Tog24 (bit random, I'd never heard of it but an ad popped up on my FB feed) but I just can't bring myself to keep it because I don't like it enough.
I want warm, waterproof, ideally an interesting colour but would settle for navy, and most importantly something that fits and doesn't make me look fatter than I already am.
Can anyone help me find this unicorn?! Please?!
