MINE!! Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,287 Last Post: 1/22/2007 Member Since: 2/25/2005	I am craving a yummy Pea Coat!!! But I was unfortunately born with a lot of hips and a lot of BBOOOOTTTYYY~~~ (sucks) So I am afraid that it will make me look horrible. I am only 5'3... so I know that the longer ones make me look short and stumpy. Here are two that I am looking at... what you think? Any experience with pea coats, how they fit? Suggestions?

My advice to you is to go try on the pea coats first, since they are all cut so differently. I can't wait for the fall! Love the sweaters, and coats, and warm socks....and hot soup!

saturn Cut Rock Total Posts: 305 Last Post: 10/6/2006 Member Since: 5/31/2005	I'm only 5'1", and I have a peacoat that I've worn all winter long for several years now. I think if you get one that isn't too long, it won't make you look short. Definitely try it on before you buy. I really like the first one you posted. Hope you find one that's perfect!

teebee Ideal Rock Total Posts: 812 Last Post: 6/7/2006 Member Since: 4/16/2004	I love pea coats!!! I'm only 5'0" (w/ plenty of boobs, hips, & boooooooty) and I think they look rather flattering on me (if I do say so myself... ). I agree that it's really a matter of getting a good fit & not too long. I seriously have like... 6 pea coats: dark charcoal grey, light grey, red, black, light blue, & pink. I know, I have a serious problem... I have so many coats that they don't all fit in the coat closet... I just love coats so much... Weird huh? It's not even that cold for very long here... I like the first one you posted as well, but think that you should try a bunch on. For me, the more tailored, less boxy looks really good - anything that is cut too straight or does not show my waist at all doesn't look right. ~teebee~

teebee Ideal Rock Total Posts: 812 Last Post: 6/7/2006 Member Since: 4/16/2004	Just looked again - definitely the first style - more modern styling & shorter length will look better as well as the vertical pockets. The second one just looks too long for someone that is petite - plus the cuffs & horizontal pockets w/ flaps look kinda dated to me, and I try to avoid turned up cuffs on sleeves & pant legs as they are usually bad for shorties! ~teebee~

IrishEyes Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,246 Last Post: 7/28/2008 Member Since: 1/4/2005	I think that the second one you posted (the black and orange colored ones) would most likely be the most flattering for your body type. I am like you - I am short (5'2") and curvy, so I have the same problem finding a good coat. The reason I think those coats I mentioned would be best for you is because from the pic, they look like they taper in a little bit at the waist, and they are of medium length (not too long or short). This will be best because the jacket will define your waist and the length will elongate you - making you look slender and curvy instead of short and boxy, like those the jackets in the first pic look. The jacket should ideally end somewhere between your waist and your knee ( mid-thigh) and have a slight taper in the waist. Also make sure the shoulders are softly rounded and not "shoulder-pad" looking - adding bulk to the shoulders will make you look like a short and stocky football player - not very attractive!! Hope this helps, it's what I've been doing with my coats for years and I have some real cute coats now that really flatter a shortie like me! IrishEyes,AJP (GIA)

tbd Cut Rock Total Posts: 123 Last Post: 9/27/2005 Member Since: 7/18/2005	i just received a sundance catalog this afternoon. i don't know whether any of you are into that casual style. i lead a very casual life and like a lot of their stuff. the reason i am posting is the current sd catalog has a couple of leather pea coats and a really cute casual leather jacket. i don't have the capabilities to post these but if anyone is interested they can check the catalog or the website. banjo
