"Thanks!" to Silver_lining (in the "Darlings, is it time for a J.Crew coupon code?" post)who gave us a great and insightful review of this coat:
"Just wanted to give a quick review of the Wool-Cashmere Dana coat I just received (in Camel).
It was packed in a big gift box with the cream colored ribbon around it, in tissue paper but not in any plastic, with a black hanger bag and the little bag of cedar balls enclosed. Nice presentation!
However, the material looked almost a little ratty, and was not as smooth as I had anticipated. Nice color, but was apprehensive about the fabric.
I am a 2 top and bottom, and my other JC coats are also a 2. The fit on the Dana was just... off. I know that the major complaint with JC's trench-style coats and jackets as of late is that they're too big in the torso. I found the Dana to have almost the opposite problem - that shirring across the shoulders in the back made it feel tight (and this is with a tissue tee underneath, so a heavier sweater would just not do). However, the bottom part of the coat was quite huge! It fit comfortably in the waist area, but then flared out and hit right at my knee (not at midthigh like the website description says - I'm about 5'5"). Overall, it looked like it was swallowing me, but then there's the problem of it being too small in the shoulders, so sizing down wouldn't have helped. Doesn't look like there's a petite option, either - this coat must have been pinned all over the place on the model in the catalog!
I'm quite disappointed, but not totally surprised given the weird sizing issues lately. This one's going back. Boo!
Oh, and PS - my coat did not have buttons at the cuffs as depicted in the picture on the website - Now give me THAT coat and I think I'd have better luck! ;)"
"Thanks!" again to Silver_Lining! :)
