ooh, that is gorgeous. I love funnel neck coats, but 3/4 length sleeves make me look like I'm wearing a childs coat lol

What is the point of a coat with 3/4 length sleeves?? How can it be warm if a chunk of your arms are poking out?

nailpolish · 22/01/2008 14:07

flier you should get long gloves then

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 22/01/2008 14:08

Are you forced to wear 3/4 length tops underneath or are you meant to have the sleeves poking out from the coat?

nailpolish · 22/01/2008 14:09

no not at all soup

wear long sleeves as normal

OP posts:
nailpolish · 22/01/2008 14:09

Sorry, but that's ridiculous!! [fogey]

Apart from the sleeves the coat looks nice though...

Fimbo · 22/01/2008 14:11

I don't get 3/4 length sleeves on a winter coat at all. But that's just me.

Tis very nice NP though and you can probably carry it off.

Flier · 22/01/2008 14:14

might be ok with long cream or black leather gloves, can you get such a thing?

nailpolish · 22/01/2008 14:17

flier its best if gloves match belt (dark brown leather)
