Anyone own a didrikson coat?

... and if so, could you help me make sense of the sizing? Trying to buy one online and want a size 10. I think they are generally sized in EU sizes but have found different size guides giving a 10 as 38 and 36. Not even sure they use standard EU size. If anyone could tell me their standard UK dress size and the size of their coat that would be very helpful ☺️

I usually wear 10-12 and have a 38. If you are a true 10 a 36 would probably work.

Id agree. I have the Emilia Parka sz 36 which was advertised as a ten and I'd say it is a definite 10.its slightly too big for me as I'm 8 ro 10,but it was the only size in the sale and its for wi ter use so didn't mind it being a bit big.

Thanks @cozycat1 I was looking at both Emilia parka and Erika. The Emilia doesn't look as thick, is it warm enough for winter? I live in South East so no really harsh winters but I spend plenty of time standing in the cold on playground duty and walking the dog in all weathers!

I have a 38, I'm 5 foot 4, 9.5 stone. I'm sometimes a 10 but more often a 12.

They are great coats!

I had one years ago , they don't allow for curves and the sleeves are super long!

Oooh that sounds a bit annoying @buttons123456 , sleeves are always long on me as it is!
