Does anyone have the OLD version of the Boden velvet coat?

[Flight]

Just managed to get one on ebay and not sure what it will be like.

Oh poo. Just realised it's a 16! Aagh.

Change that then,. Anyone want to buy a Boden velvet coat!?!

I have medium norkage, cods.

Does that mean tis no good for highlighting or no good for diminishing?

Its gonna be huge on me isn't it. i'm a 12.

I'm after a moleskin jacket that they did a few yrs ago.It was so useful but too big for me now.
Single breasted longish blazer style..wish they did them again.

perhaps the time has come to indulge my earth mother fantasy and stick on a couple of stone

I have the moleskin coat [helpful]. But it's velvet right, so you can wear open and let it swoosh about in a dramatic way.

Though the arms might be annoying, but you could flap those for extra effect.

I can see that you are trying hard to make me feel better about this 100.

I might adapt it as a babywearing garment.

I've got it in blue Flight and yes,it will be huge! I got an 8 and it is roomy on me (10) but then I always wear it unbuttoned.

Oh dear...well I've emailed the seller - I already paid after the auction so they know I'm genuine - and said if they'll be kind enough to offer it to the under bidder, I'll make up the difference so they don't lose out.
I also spammed the underbidder {blush] asking if she wants it, just in case the seller doesn't want to second chance it - then I can sell it direct to her.
Never sure if this is a good idea - but I would want to be consulted if I just lost something I really wanted.

Oh well! It was just so lovely.
I should know by now that ebay and my brain do not work well together!!!

Well it's arrived, (they wouldn't cancel the sale, never mind) and is actually really gorgeous. It's not half as big as I thought it would be, funnily enough - it actually looks about right, except the waist doesn't look very fitted. But in Winter I'll be wearing thicker layers under it so it'll be fine.

Excellent Flight! I am only small so that is probably why they seem huge on me,not because I am slim,just sort of petite all over,except belly and love handles...

Heehee...I have very broad shoulders and it fits them perfectly!!!

just picked up thread - I have this coat and never wear it fastened 'specially since DD2 arrived!

ah - well I can easily fasten mine, not sure if you're supposed to as everyone says they wear it open!
It looks less fitted that way but still really nice.
