It is a great pattern-very feminine, but offers coverage for weather. Lots of people have done reviews-there is an immense amount of inspiration for this type of coat out there.

The other jacket I have been eyeing up is the Amy Butler 'Rainy Days' jacket. It has a few length options depending on what you were after too.

I made the fronts wider so they button over instead of meeting in the center front. J. -- Edited on 10/6/12 6:42 AM --

I assume they've reviewed it and provided details so I'd read them carefully. ------ Mel (Melbourne, Australia)
