wanted mac/trenchcoat long sleeved with full fifties feel about it

I've posted on here before about my 50s style figure and how I want to make the most of it. Anyway, I saw a pic of Emma Bunton in a magazine last week and she looked gorgeous in stiletto heels and a mac. The mac was single breasted, belted and fitted but with a wide skirt to the knee. Looked very sexy (i.e was too long to show if there was anything on underneath

now I want one. Got the stilettos today (am a stiletto virgin but determined to cross that line) but really need the mac, preferably bright colour, preferable red

Can anyone help? Most macs I see are too short or have weird 3/4 length sleeves.

I know this has some of the things you didn't want (sleeves, not red), but is this the sort of thing, do you think, barring those?

Better colour but too short, and double breasted.

rather pricey

Hi Jackie

I actually saw the M&S one today and it was lovely, but don't like the 3/4 length sleeves. I fear cold wrists otherwise it would've been perfect and I would have snapped it up there and then.

Other one is a little short. Want to wear with a skirt so I can show my legs, but unfortunately, I am not as young, nor as skinny as the model!

It's difficult, isn't it. A lot of coats seem to have 3/4 length sleeves atm. Long gloves, to fill the gap?

ah now, i love this, but it's got the damned short sleeves, long gloves may be the way forward
