“I thought this would keep out the rain but when there was light drizzle for 3/4 minutes that didn't even make my hair floppy, the back of the coat was wet all the way through the lining and to my t shirt underneath too....that was the only disappointment. I have been advised to buy some wax to coat the seams now , ..wish I'd known this before I ordered ! The coat itself is roomy and well made though, and looks really good on me. I am 5ft 2in , size 14 high street dress size, and the size guide said order xs. I thought it would be too small but it's actually a bit on the large size so it fits me better than I expected . I really like the look of the coat , and have now ordered a WATERPROOF longline coat as well, so I'll have what I need whatever the weather.”
