Sleeve Length:
Feels too short
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
As most of the other reviews noted, it doesn't look like the picture at all. The color, fabric, and fit are much different. I loved the tapered fit, and it is flattering. At 5'8" and 130 pounds, I usually wear a size 4. The size 4 is very short in the waist and sleves. I can't put my thumbs in the inner liner as designed because it is too short. The picture shows the coat down to her hips, but it isn't that long at all. I am afraid that getting a bigger size for length would make the the body too big, so I think I am going to have to return it. Too bad, becuase I feel that it is a very nice coat. It is lightweight but felt warm although I didn't wear it outside. I also should mention that the hood does not come off, so it can be bulky around the neck. Also it does not have pit vents which may be an important feature for skiing. I said "yes, I would recommend this to a friend," but I would only recommend it to a short friend!
