I'm thinking of buying the The North Face Transit Down Jacket- Women's, but am a little hesitant as I read here that the fit is not flattering. Does it look too puffy and would this color attract dirt and stains? I already have a Black Redpoint jacket which is really warm but does not have too attractive a fit! Can anyone help me make a decision?

I have a medium and am 5'6" and 135lbs. I think this is as flattering as it can be for a down jacket meaning that it is not very puffy at all and is pretty thin and also does have an hourglass shape or a slight tapering at the waist. I would not go with white but any of the other colors would be good and I think they wash very well with spray n wash and dry with some tennis balls on low. My last years north face aconcaqua has the same fabric in pink and came out like new and the washing even seemed to take away slight wearing or fuzz in a couple of spots in the material.

I wouldn't say that this jacket has the most flattering lines in the TNF line. Here are a few other options that you might want to look at: Thunder Jacket, Tempest Down, Amtoinette, Aviatrix, Destiny Down. I think all of these have very nice cuts if you want something down that is more flattering.
