I love the coat but size off

By kni3722444 Ranked #1857 - Women's Down Jackets March 19, 2010

After reading numerous reviews regarding the Gotham I decided that I would get a medium. I am petite 5'1, weigh 125 and have a pretty small chest. I read several reviews that stated that the coat runs pretty small and to order a size larger than what you usually wear. Many people listed their measurements and I thought that I should get a medium to make sure the coat fit right. The medium fits, however I think I would have preferred a small. it is kinda bulky in the stomach area (makes me feel like I look preggo) and the arms are kinda big. It still looks super cute but I think a small would have been perfect. I suppose the extra room will be good for when I have a sweater or sweatshirt on next winter. I probably should have exchanged it but decided not too because I didn't want to wait the extra time for return and then reshipping. I might suggest that someone try it on in the store nd then buy it online (unless you don't mind the return/exchange time).
