Hourglass figures - what’s on your Autumn/Winter wish list?

interested to see what other hourglasses are coveting. I’m a jewelled hourglass and find it tricky to find coats that tick all the criteria.

id love a purple coat - was thinking of this

I bought an oversized bright pink coat in Primark last week for £35. Can't find an image of it online unfortunately. I'm a 16 and had to size down to a 10 ludicrously to get the fit I wanted, but I'm a bright/ jewel winter and it looks great.

Tempted to look for that. I'm after a long belted wool coat want it about ankle length.

I'd also love some winter skirts that are gathered/ ruched as that flatters my hour glass.

Wheelyweddingwipedout · 15/10/2022 09:05

all those things sound lovely, please post pics or links if you find them Sick and Lady.

my coat search has led me to this - please tell me that it would suit an hourglass figure because I love it and it’s already in my basket

I'm a size 16/18 hourglass with massive boobs. I prefer the red coat and the shape is better for an hourglass. Are the furry bits removable? It would be handy if there were, so you could have a different look for different occasions.

IF the purple one had a belt, it would be better to nip the waist in, but it doesn't look like it has enough definition. I find a trench coat with belt is flattering on my hourglass.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 15/10/2022 10:28

That coat is great for an hourglass! Proper old school glamour.

Sickoffamilydrama · 15/10/2022 15:35

That's nice @Wheelyweddingwipedout I'd like it a bit longer. I think I will save up and get one made by a small company on Etsy.

There's this one www.etsy.com/listing/1075189088/wool-coat-for-women-winter-coat-hooded

Or this one I think the hood will make it much more wearable in the winter.www.etsy.com/listing/928051397/long-gray-hooded-wool-coat-full-length

Or this one with this company you can customize like adding buttons or a removable hood.

Gosh they are all stunning Sick. Have you looked at the seamstress of Bloomsbury or British retro for skirts? Your second picture put me in mind of this from the seamstress of Bloomsbury

This beautiful - where is it from?

Sickoffamilydrama · 15/10/2022 21:14

Wow @Wheelyweddingwipedout they are good, I've heard of them but never purchased that might be my buy for next month!

Badgirlriri · 17/10/2022 18:34

What age range are you looking at because most of those are terribly old fashioned.

Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 17/10/2022 21:25

A long belted camel coat. The only perfect one I can find is £649 (Holland Cooper) 😫All the others have a massive collar or too bulky....

It's all in the way you wear them @Badgirlriri mixing modern with retro.
I've been called many things in my time regarding my clothes choices but never old fashioned 🤣

OverTheHillAndDownTotherSide · 18/10/2022 10:10

Just bought a peacock blue short wool jacket (with belt) from Ted Baker (outlook). They had longer versions, including a lovely hot pink. I’ll try and find a pic.

OverTheHillAndDownTotherSide · 18/10/2022 10:11

Pretty sure I have a long purple coat in my wardrobe that I’ve never worn and would be happy to sell.

OverTheHillAndDownTotherSide · 18/10/2022 10:16

This is the one I bought. They do a longer version too.

I think it's called retro rather than old-fashioned.

Avastmehearties · 18/10/2022 10:19

I really want a tan leather vintage trench but stupidly missed a really nice one on ebay. Back to looking... I need a waist, can't do oversized.

DoodlePug · 18/10/2022 10:34

I've had some really nice leather from Joe browns via ebay, much better quality than their usual stuff.

I have the long version of this coat in the pink, and have just bought a mid length cobalt blue too - gorgeous coats.

Still coat searching - would this work on an hourglass? I love the colour- perfect for a jewelled winter

It’s a bit up and down - no waist?

you’re right - I loved the colour so much I wanted it to be right. It’s so bloody hard to find things that are the right colour for a jewelled winter AND the right style for an hourglass
