I should probably wait until I've actually owned this coat for longer than five minutes, worn it out in the cold, etc etc, but I love it so much I had to jump on here and say how excited I am. One person reviewing this coat said it made a big gal look dumpy, and another suggested it should be shorter and I haven't looked at myself in the mirror but realistically speaking, I'm a 3X and I am going to look dumpy in whatever I wear, and people should just acknowledge that clothing does not do magic. Having said this, I LOVE THIS COAT. It is stylish, it is attractive, the faux leather, rather than being thick and stiff as I feared, is soft and supple. It feels great to slip it on and I can't wait to wear it with jeans and boots. It's hard to find ANY winter coats at my size (there aren't any in the stores and this is a university town with A LOT of stores) except ugly parkas so I am thrilled with how attractive this coat is. So far, it's a complete homerun
