winter coats this year - all designed for girls under 5 imo

[CostaRicanCod]

too much detail fakring 4 buttons over hte chest, seams oevr thebust nad flaring out at the hips( wtf is an a line coat about)
or just making oyu loook like aoughnut wiht legs stickign out the bottom

Im tempted by this - am I wrong? Only because it looks warm and has a hood. It seems to be they either have warm without hood OR thin with hood. Also have red and blue like this but black would go with more. Is it awful? www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=20&viewAllFlag=false&catalogId=1 9551&storeId=12556&categoryId=130044&parentcategoryrn=42347&productId=784627&langId=-1

oh yes I probably won't be buying a winter coat this year - unless it's from lands end!
giraffe that topshop one is not bad but I can't make up my mind about duffle coats!

I like that duffle coat, I really want a long fitted coat.

i thought this was quite nice jane norman

or this except its white

in fact i would prefer them both in different material and i am trying to avoid black

That's lovely, zippi, I do like Jane Norman clothes.

no you see i dont want

a) doubel breasted)

b) gathering ( spec not form bustline)

c) a flared od skirt thing

d) a funnel making me look liek a blob on legs wiht optional head

ive never been in there before!

it is a two minutes walk from me i thought it was a frumpy bonne marche type place but decided to look

i was wrong

but it is more expensive than my usual haunt

new look tho about the same price as river island but looks a bit better quality

well it is all this military look...accessorise and places top shop i think have those ridiculous fake military medals attached to everything

i think that idea will bomb

unintentional pun lol

I've got the great cord coat from Boden. It's pretty good, I'd give it an 8.5/10.

The only slight downside is that I'd like it to be a leetle shorter (just a few inches) and the sleeves could do with being slightly narrower.

the cord coat has the dreaded seam above the bust

@ Jane Norman. Nasty fabrics and vile stuff whenever I've been in there.

seam above the bust ? Where on earth do your boobs hang ?!

Anyway, I like it and I'm keeping it. Will probably add a big old brooch or flower or something to perk it up a bit.

cod i think this is a perfect example

you reckon ndp?

that is the impression i got just walking past but thought it much better than top shop..think their fabrics are crappy especially for coats

Ah see, I hate topshop too.

Oh nom, I like the look of that cord coat. Might pop along to the Boden shop and have a look.

Agree with all the military faff tho. In particular I hate the slightly puffed shoulder details.

i dont like topshop i used to but not now

what about this out of my price range just a bit

not a shop i go in either tho there is one by jane norman

or this which would be better for me i cant wear long ones makes me look like a crow

Aren't Boden clothes made by small children in the third world who eat dust for lunch?

I think they're both quite dressy, zippi. Planet's generally good quality though.

bizarrely river island are selling exactly the same jacket i bought from them last year again this year..thought that was most unusual

lol at ndp
no sorry yes seam not onbust
w as mistkign it wiht last eyars velevt one

Zara have got some gorgeous coats in atm. Not sure if it would meet your criteria but there is a lovely sort of checked one. Might be a skirty type thing though can't remember. I've got a black one from there last year, only problem is I've now got brown boots.

you can have black and brown together tho unless it is a mans suit
