Non-puffy hooded raincoat for petites?

Can anyone recommend a hooded raincoat that keeps the rain/wind out and doesn't swamp a petite frame please? I'm especially narrow around the shoulders and am tired of looking like an eskimo - looking for something with a nice, fitted shape. Thanks!

Not super fitted but it's wind and rainproof and doesnt make you look bulky. Id size down in it unless you wear tons of layers.

I am very petite and love the Protected Species Commuter coat.

I got the citywalker www.protected-species.com/product/waterproof-city-walker/ from Protected Species, a few years ago when they had a special offer for Mumsnetters, and it’s been great - the rain just falls off it.

@musicmum75 @RustyBear thanks for the introduction to Protected Species, so elegant.

I'm petite too and find Uniqlo lengths are generally really good for me. I have something very similar to this from a past season:
