If I bought this coat would I be begging for people to shout Mr Blobby! from cars??

Peacocks coat

I think it might depend on how far down your body it finished.

it depends

are you very tall and slim with no norks?

tall, fat with ample norks

neckline and double breasted TOTALLY unsuitable for the large of nork. sorry

and its not fat, its curvy. get with the programme

Looks like a very sensible coat for dark winter evenings!

its really really hiddeous.

dotty p's have 30% winter coats right now online... theres some nice uns

Please, please, please do not buy this coat. It is really quite nasty.

I think you would tire of it extremely quickly.

I've never seen an uglier coat in my life

What, of all the coats in the world, would possess you to buy that one?

IME any coat that only costs £30 will look like it only cost £30

Mollie, dark being the operative word

I quite like it but agree with Cybil about price/ quality

If it was £130 on Johnny Bodens site LOADS of people would be very excited about it

There's a purple version too that I saw in store but it was the pink one that I automatically thought of Mr Blobby, funnily enough there were racks full of them, obviously not sold many

Cybilin.
the fact that there are people with money but no taste as well as people with no money and no taste is not shocking is it.
Have you seen Paris Hilton? Princess Beatrice? Most of the people in the Harrods Food Hall.....?

Rich people also buy shit is not a strong arguement for that hideous snazy coat

are those teats down the front?

I think the pattern is fun if you are into that kind of thing but the shape couldn't even flatter Kate Moss!

I am a big fan of fitted knee length coats. They make one look taller, slimmer and even the brightly coloured 'fun ones' can have a bit of a luxurious and sophisticated feel about them.

OP - Shall we find something REALLY lovely for you?

What size are you....? What is your budget?

My first thought is this (- I think it is a fun colour but a bit sexier! I am nervous about the ruff though - Style and beauty addicts please explain - would it work visually with norks or no?):

Ooooh - now I look at it a second time I wonder if the coat I linked to is a bit Grannyish...

oh goodness I wasn't going to actually buy it, I just saw it in the store yesterday and thought "Eeeek!"
I have my lovely charcoal grey military style winter coat already

Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!! You tease!!!!!!!!

I must admit AvadventCalendar - I love the sound of your lovely charcoal grey military style winter coat - VERY NICE INDEED!!!!

Even Kate Moss would look like a barrel in that coat. Tis grim.
