Please help me to find my coat

I have been hankering after a green coat for ages and ages, so this year have decided I will finally try to get one. I have searched high and low and can't find anything that fits what I want.

It must be 3/4 length, possibly wool - although would consider suede or velvet. But most importantly it must be green!! Like a mossy green too.

Tall order I know. Can anyone reccomend any clothes websites I might not have tried?

Size and budget please ?

milkysallgone · 23/11/2008 19:34

Oh yes. Size - 14, and budget....[sticks fingers in ears] La la la la la.

This sort of thing or did you mean longer, by 3/4 length?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 23/11/2008 19:39

oooh Jackie that is lovely

milkysallgone · 23/11/2008 19:40

I like that, think it's a bit jackety though - and possibly a bit too bright. I could handle that length or a bit longer.

Prob a bit lightwight

JackieNo · 23/11/2008 19:42

Next - really a jacket rather than a coat though.
not sure the colour's right.

PerkinWarbeck · 23/11/2008 19:45

mossy

JackieNo · 23/11/2008 19:45

not sure this is really what you're after?
Bust the budget

milkysallgone · 23/11/2008 19:49

Jackie - I really like the trench coat style; shame the colour wasn't right.

These are great thanks. I know I'm being an awkward cow! You know when you have the image of something and set your heart on it? Doesn't appear to bloody exist though .

Can't find much in green at the moment.

I'll have another rummage.

Anna8888 · 23/11/2008 19:58

There's a gorgeous coat in Marni at the moment that meets your description - 900 euros or thereabouts...

mossy, 3/4, nice, cheap

blinks · 24/11/2008 00:36

also

puppydavies · 24/11/2008 17:26

which side of a 14 are you? this is a 16 but rather lovely i reckon

puppydavies · 24/11/2008 17:27

or, if you're the other side of a 14 this is an even nicer green, in a 12.

puppydavies · 24/11/2008 17:29

wahey! an actual 14

milkysallgone · 24/11/2008 20:07

Ooh I love the Per Una one Puppydavis - thank you. I can't decide if it will fit me though. Any idea if they usually come up big or small?

no idea i'm afraid, but the measurements are on the auction so you can compare it against something you already have that fits well and get a good idea
