@Lelly78 🤣 I'll post an update and let you know if sizing is true to size

It looks quite cheap, and not well made

I love a filet. Not as restricting as a coat but still keeps you warm. Never with short sleeves though!

Well mine has arrived ! Love it ! It's not mega thick which suits me fine and it's quite roomy - I'm a chunky 12 so I ordered the 14 .. perfect if I want to put something thick on underneath
Glad I got the longer one hides the chunky bum
Did you order it in the end OP?

Agree. I think there are better ones on the market.

@notlongtillxmas I picked it up today!! I got the size 8 and it fits but when the drawstring is drawn I feel like it is a little snug on the waist so I've order the size 10 next day delivery awaiting its arrival to compare!!

I love it, definitely a keeper, I was worried it would like cheap but I think for the price the quality looks good.

Glad you got yours too 👍

@postingfortraffichere ah glad you love it , yes better to get the size you happy with or you'd regret it
I'm really pleased with it , just wish it would cool down a bit so I can wear it can't believe I'm actually saying that
For anyone worrying about quality - it's lovely , no complaints at all

@notlongtillxmas same I love summer so can't believe I want it to cool either because I also have just bought some Chelsea boots I love and can't wait to wear with it 😂

@notlongtillxmas love it! They'll go well for cold winter days 😁

Gorgeous! I wanted some shorter ones this time to see if my fat calves will look any better !
Bring on the cold 🤣

Cam2020 · 19/09/2021 15:21

Don't your arms get cold?

notlongtillxmas · 19/09/2021 15:26

To be honest @Cam2020 if I was going for a hike in the snow then no - this would not be my jacket for the day
But as I spend most of my time travelling by car to work / to the shops/ to the cinema / visit friends / supermarket and only outside for short periods of time - it's absolutely fine
I can wear a long sleeve top or jumper depending on how I feel , so although I appreciate it's not for everyone - I love it !

postingfortraffichere · 19/09/2021 18:31

@notlongtillxmas exactly why I got it!! Because I'm usually just jumping in and out of the car for short periods and a coat gets in my way even in cold winter so this will be perfect for me too. Enjoy yours ;)
