This coat?

What do you think? I think it’s a bargain with the £120 reduction! Hoping to wear it on my daily walk and to ‘dress up’ for it!
I’ve never worn a swing coat before though, do they suit tall women? I’m 5’11 so don’t want to look like Hagrid although I am slim.

Lovely. That will definitely suit a tall woman. In fact, probably best on taller women.

I think they make everyone look pregnant. Sorry.

I think it would look great on a tall woman. Bargain price too.

Could look cool, could also look frumpy. Depends how you style it.

Sorry I really don’t like that shape. It’s boxy and unflattering even on the model which I think is why none of the pictures actually show her wearing the coat. They all involve some kind of movement of the coat meaning you can’t see how it would actually sit on a tall, slim person. Even in the first one she seems to be having to overlap each side heavily in order to make it fit, it looks like it would drown someone slim.

Oh gosh, are they maternity making?!
My day to day ‘uniform’ is thick tights, trainers and a shortish skirt or knee length/midi dress (I’m 30). Probably would wear more with a skirt than dress. It’s due to be delivered tomorrow but I will see!

There’s usually only one reason why good quality clothes don’t sell and have to be reduced that many times in almost ALL sizes!

Plus the front picture where she’s sitting down it’s so chunky it looks like it’s padded, is it that the arms are big? I can’t work it out

I like it.

Atalune · 15/02/2021 09:12

Oder it and see.

The coat has just been delivered! 10/10 for prompt delivery. I can confirm the arms are long- they fit me and I’m 5’11, I usually order things from the tall ranges. Length wise it’s just below my bum. It’s loose- I could have got away with a size 8 (I’m normally a 10) but it looks good!
Lovely quality, looks like a classic piece and could be dressed up or down.
Fairly boxy in shape so I will wear open with a nice scarf and fitted jumper underneath.

I like it.
