I am fed up with not being able to find one.
My old one is so knackered (bought at Mexx about 10 years ago!)

Just something plain, straight, black, knee lenght or thereabouts, waterproof with a hood. Oh and not padded as I have a parka for when v cold.

Thank you kindly mumsnetters

'showerproof'?

at that price I'd get the Boden one

ggirlsbells · 05/12/2007 22:06

I am becoming obsessed now.

Also have decided you are fabulously wealthy and want to spend £600 on a raincoat.

tadaa!

oh hi,you're back

glad you like it.

if you have no waist then you should wear a tie one to give the illusion of waist.

can you tell I watch trinny ,gok etc.

I am officially retiring from raincoat searching now.

Cali - yep, I did note the shoes. I particularly liked the page that looked /read a bit like the script from a TV sales show www.renovere.com/moreabout.asp.

can't believe CD's passing up the opportunity for "compliments galore".

Hiya,

This is probably not apt in the least, it is brown (or blue) and 3/4 length, but great if you've got biggish boobs, and it's belted. I've tried both colours on in the shop and they are comfy and have a lovely lining...

Thought I'd throw it into the mix...

On second thoughts, the French Connection one is really nice.

RosaLuxMundi · 06/12/2007 11:04

I have the Boden one (brown with blue spots) having searched for two years for something that ticked all the boxes.
Now I wish I had seen the French Connection one first. Damn.

Enid · 06/12/2007 11:06

french connection one is lovely

they have had a v good season

Carnival · 06/12/2007 11:17

I don't want to sound all Trinny & Susannah, the last time I mentioned them, I got crucified.

But, does the belty bit at the waist not create a kind of artificial one, so it accentuates what you've got?

PatsyCline · 06/12/2007 11:51

Love the FC one, but is it showerproof?

Stop grabbing everyone's boobs, Carnival! Get off. Stop it. But agree that waist detail might be an issue.
