Here is the skinny. I love this coat. It is VERY flattering with the chevron quilting, especially for curvy gals. Light, does not make you look like a marshmallow person at all.

Super lightweight, I went up to a 1x, normally a 14/16 but did not want it tight. Wore it in a trip to London with temps from 20+ degrees. With tights, pants, long sleeve tee, light merino sweater, gloves and a wool scarf....I was fine. I wouldnt count on it for temps any lower. And some ladies might feel cold under 30 degrees.

I got the grey which is a great color since you can use it for nicer outings.
