I found the coat to fit a bit on the small size. I wear a size 16 and ordered the coat in XXL. I will be ordering the next size up. I love the coat - it's unique and that's what I'm always looking for - something that no one will have. The coat is fully lined. I plan on wearing it to the opera, symphony and other special occasions. I ordered it in silver metallic.It’s striking and different from a usual wool coat. Fairly decent fabric and construction. Looks better than I expected at the price. It’s a nice coat to wear on dressy occasions, especially in a climate with mild winter weather.It was a bit challenging to know how the closure worked, but once I did, that was fine. I think that it would have been easier to figure it out if the Large (my size) was true to sizing. This fits more like an XL or XXL. Since I have long arms, I'll likely have it altered rather than return it, because the sleeves are the right length and that is the thing I can't alter.One thing to think about is that the material is VERY shiny--like blindingly so. If you want to stand out, this is your coat. If you are looking for something more subtle, keep looking.I know there are a lot of reviews here that the product is too long and needs alterations in sleeve length, hem and shoulders. I am 5'10" and weigh 220. I am a big girl and usually would not have purchased such an item online without the reviews saying it was built on the roomy side. Thank you to those reviewers, because of them I decided to take a chance. The garment fits beautifully. (You cannot tell from the photo on sleeve length because I am trying to hold in the below hand length sleeves of my blouse - probably should have changed for photos but couldn't wait to try it on.) The fabric is a lighter weight almost "fluffy" brocade, but it should be able to go over a medium weight sweater so I fully expect to use this during the holiday snowy season, but would be ditching it for down when the polar vortexes come through. The scarf is attached at the collar which I like, but you could easily undo the thread tacking it on. I might sit down with a needle and thread and give the four front snaps a few more stitches - just in case, but overall it seems to be well-made. It screams date night, holidays, or Sunday services. Classy classy classy! Great deal for the cost.This is the most fabulous coat I've ever seen! However, I am 5'2". The fashion world seems to have accepted the fact that everyone is not a size 2, but now they need to realize that everyone is not 5'11". Because I love the coat, I will be spending the extra money to have at least a foot hemmed from the bottom and 4-6 inches from the sleeves. Thankfully with those changes it can be fixed to fit a shorter woman. PLEASE provide options for petites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is a perfect dress coat to go over dressy wear ! I ordered a Size XL and I’m a womens 14. There was a lot of material so is definitely a full coverage dress coat, but not super thick so still good for Southern Winters. I’m pretty tall so the hem was okay but it still hit me midcalf. Only thing I didn’t like is that you cannot remove the scarf as it is sewed into a seam. I wish they would’ve made this removable.I love this coat, and would love to add it to my closet. I bought a small and exchanged it for an extra small and it was still too big. I'm normally not an extra small - I'm a small, and occasionally a medium. My complaint is, that as the coat was sized down, the volume of the material wasn't sized proportionately. Way, way too much coat. Instead of looking fabulous, I looked ridiculous. Very sad to see this coat go back.I admit, I'm difficult to fit. I was sure hoping this beautiful coat would fit me, but the shoulders were huge, it was nearly to the floor, the collar was too big for me, the scarf was like a train - dragging on the floor no matter how much I tied it up. I also found it difficult to snap. Not really criticizing the fabric, but wish there was more black in the weave. Very sad to return it.Dieser Mantel hat leider überhaupt keine Ähnlichkeit mit der Kreation von Jeanette Limas aus der 3. Folge Making the Cut Season 3. Als würde man die billigste Kopie auf einem Chinamarkt kaufen. Weder Farbe noch Muster besitzen eine Ähnlichkeit mit dem Original. Das Material hat Ähnlichkeit mit einer Steppdecke aus dem 1 Euro Laden. Wenn Amazon sich schon damit rühmt, die Kreationen der einzelnen Gewinner in ihrem Making the Cut Store zu verkaufen, sollten sie sich wenigstens die Mühe machen, dem Original gerecht zu werden.I am 5'6 and a size S, however this item is still very long and very bulky - would only suit a very tall and think person. It is also very complex on the draping element to work it out - I would not recommend.I would disagree with the previous comment about the material quality. I found the textile OK. The coat-dress actually looks quite nice but unfortunately was a bit too long for my taste. It also looks extremely festive, not for everyday wear. All in all, I would recommend to try if it fits you and the occasion.
