Not good for short waisted gals...

On the one hand, this coat is fantastic -- exactly what I wanted! I am 5'2" and was worried it would be too long, but it was not. I'm small, 109 pounds, but got the SMALL vs. the XS so I could wear layers underneath. I do think the XS would have been snugger in the shoulders than I like. The problem is that the top part fits nicely, room in the shoulders etc., but the waist begins just above my hips and flares out so I look kind of like a little girl wearing her mommy's coat. Even my zero-fashion-interested husband thought it looked odd. Also, the sleeves were long for a shortie like me. The Metropolis (shorter) version fits more normally, but man I really wanted a longer coat! So -- fabulous for a longer-waisted gal with hips. I envy all those whom it fits! Enjoy!
