RED MAC ALERT

34 replies

NancysGarden · 01/04/2009 18:57

I am desperate to find a 3/4 red mac for spring, looking for pillar box red with a belt (will go to purple if pushed.)

Can anyone please help? I am a woman possessed!!!

A bit flouncy?

Nice and sharp

I tried that Debenhams one on - it looked hideous. The material is so puffy that it adds inches all over and the double-breasted front was horribly unflattering.

object of desire?

NorktasticNinja · 01/04/2009 19:12

TBH I didn't think the description 'voluminous frill mac' sounded very promising...

I have one I got from M&S about 2 years ago, it hasn't a belt and is a little faded now, wore it to death...

Actually, wasn't 3/4 length either (so why mention it?

Will have a look

Now that is beautiful but about £800 out of my price range I'm afraid!

Sorry Nork - wasn't trying to insult your choice, just telling my experience of it! I was v peeved as 20 squid was a v attractive price!

NorktasticNinja · 01/04/2009 19:15

Oh blimey, not insulted at all!

Lizzylou · 01/04/2009 19:16

the fit is perfect minko but wrong colour. Got to be red (or purple) but not sure coral would suit my personality

Just ordered one Ronaldinhio. Didn't have to submit card details so not sure how that works, will see. Found a really cheap one for £28 from new look I think, but out of stock. Hmm. Bearing in mind my poor LO needs new shoes far mmore than I need this jacket perhaps I should be saving the quids and go for the cheaper option.

(Bad mother...)

more of a savoury girl myself

I did order the next one, I ordered a petite one (despite being 5'6'') as I want it to come up short. (Am I mad?) It looks lovely. Fingers x-ed!
