Stephanie Mathews Wool-Rich Coat with Scarf - Petite (For Women)

This is a practical coat that looks good on, but I'm not sure about the durablity. For me it serves the purpose - I leave home from a garage and enter work from a garage. I am short (5'1"), and have short arms. I almost always need alterations for clothes, even when they're petite sized. However, this coat in a petite fit me perfectly. I needed a stylish and inexpensive long black winter coat for "appearances" when I have meetings, etc., during the day, and this coat fills the bill.

Good coat for the Washington DC area Winter. Stylish and great fit, a very good value.

I am a short woman, just under 5 feet. I bought a size 10, in which outerwear generally fits, though I often wear an 8 petite in other items. The waistline seems to sit in about the right place, so the shoulder-to-midline cut works, but the bottom hem falls nearly to my ankles and the sleeves were too long. If you're taller than I, go for it, because the coat has nice seamwork and a good silhouette. I plan to have it hemmed rather than return it.

The styling of coat involved piecing which did'nt show in the picture and is unattractive and the fabric was poor quality

I am 5'2" and this coat fit perfectly everywhere. The sleeves were the right length as was the length of the coat itself. It is a basic style that I don't expect to be out of fashion any time soon. I am very pleased.
