petite quilted jacket

I'm struggling to find a quilted jacket that flatters me. I'm 5'2" and around a size 8-10. I really like the look of this Whistles one on the model: https://www.whistles.com/product/ida-short-quilted-coat-40523.html#cgid=Clothing_WW&is=false&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&pid=ida-short-quilted-coat-40523&pos=1 and this Zara one: https://www.zara.com/uk/en/quilted-jacket-with-patch-pockets-p08372279.html?v1=463026983
but I've ordered both and they look ridiculous on me - they overwhelm my frame, especially around the shoulders and arms - I look like a gorilla. I'm trying to find a petite alternative, but am struggling. I like burgundy, khaki and dark grey. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance.

I bought this a year ago. I’m 5”3 and petite and the great thing is the arm length. You can fold up if you like and it looks good but found the arm length perfect.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I do like that H&M one in grey, @minipie , if only if it was available online in XS! I might try and find it in store.

My daughter is 5'2" and a small 10. She bought a burgundy quilted one in uniqlo which fitted fine. She liked it cos it's short and no hood.

I am 5ft2 and small and I found one in Mango last year that fit well. Not sure what they have this year but the sizing might be similar.
