fur coat

heartofgold · 23/11/2009 12:21

can anyone help me find a fur coat? i have pretty strict requirements.

mid thigh length, not longer or shorter
black, dark grey or possibly cream (not brown or leopard print, am ambivalent about that stripey stuff that seems to be around a lot atm)
fitted shape
budget sub £150 ideally sub £100

thought i had it nailed with this one but in reality it's not the rather lovely champagne colour it looks onscreen it's pale grey which is absolutely the worst colour on me

i triend this one which was surprisingly flattering but they don't go smaller than a 10 which was huuuuuge (but i recommend it to anyone else that's looking who's a 12-14+)

please haylp, will be my xmas pressie from whole family!

I think it's the length
Are you sure you won't go shorter?

Had a look and all I could see were brown or leopard - sorry.

Warehouse had a black jacket but was too short.

thanks both

definitely won't go shorter - want a coat not a jacket, plus waist-hip has to be the least flattering length possible, given that fur's always going to make you look bigger.

already have a brown coat, desperately need black/grey. could almost be tempted by leopard if it was just for going out but it's a bit much for everyday.

I'm lusting after this one, which is more than your budget, but there's a 20% off sale on Thu.

It comes in black too, and it's a beautiful fit.

definitely out of budget, it looks very boxy, too, although i've tried a few on today and found you can't always predict how it will look on.

It's OK - I'm boxy too!
