This Raincoat looks nothing like the photos on me!

Sooooo, I fell in love with this particular raincoat.
The sun and the rain- oh..so pretty…
It arrived now and I look like a cocoon in it, it’s long and baggy and looks nothing like in those pics!!
I would not dare to leave a house in it, so it will be probably returned tomorrow..
i feel so cheated..
Any opinions? Do you like it or perhaps even have it?

It's got that festival vibe in the photos but in reality it looks a bit like a dressing gown. It's the enhanced poses these models do in many cases !

You are right! It’s gives me the dressing gown vibe! I couldn’t pin point what it is.. yes the gown.. the length and the light background of the print..
And yes, spot on, the model pics are gorgeous, festival, golden sunshine in rain..

Yes Op. Now seeing the pics I agree. It does look a bit like a dressing gown.
I know what you mean. It's a shame as truly beautiful.

I have this coat and I love it 🥰 I really don’t care if the shape isn’t as figure flattering as it could be - it keeps me dry and the beautiful bright florals make me smile every time I wear it 😀

Exactly no one is wearing it like the photo! It’s just meant to add a little cheer on a rainy day!

Thanks! I managed to order a smaller size today, so hopefully it will be a less baggy..

Oh yeah, definitely, it’s just look so nice like that lol!
Anyway I managed to get a smaller size today, so it may look a bit better on me..

Soooo yes, I actually managed to order 3 sizes down and it fits perfectly, it’s above my knees now.. keeping it, fits like in the pics..

When I saw the photo of you wearing it I instantly thought of a dressing gown. Sorry @Loveclothesbagsandall

Sadly, most of us don’t look the same as models in clothes.

Yes it looked like that but since I got size 10 and it looks short and totally different.

You'd be very well camouflaged in Monet's waterlily garden in that coat!
I think the pattern is too small for a long garment personally. Orla Kiely has done some Regatta raincoats with large florals which look fab
