Looking for advice on this coat …

So I’m in Australia, Boden don’t have outlets here but do have online shopping. I’ve fallen in love with this coat, but the downside is that I’ve never shopped with Boden before, and although I can return it if it’s the wrong size, the customer is responsible for return postage, and postage here is $$$.

So first question, does anyone have this coat? What do you think of it? How is the sizing? I’m a size 10 bottoms, size 10 shoulder size but I have unfortunately bigger boobs so sometimes I need a 12 or even a 14 in tops if there is no stretch in the material.

I don’t want it to look baggy and like it dwarves me, as I’m only 5’2”, but also, I don’t want it to look like it’s painted on! (The reviews are very mixed)

Finally, what are your opinions on the look of the actual coat? We are obviously about to go into autumn here, so getting cooler, which is why it’s probably so cheap, with it being the wrong season for Boden. Help a girl out please. ❤️

Boden do not cut for boobs. If you read the reviews people are suggesting to size up.

I don’t really know a lot about Aussie
winters, but it might be worth noting that the cost is not waterproof.
