This is a truly unique coat for a truly unique person. The quality is SUPERB!!! However, when I first tried it on, I felt that it was too large. I came back to Amazon and looked at the photos of the coat on the model, and realized that it looked EXACTLY the same way on me that it looks on the model. It's supposed to be big! REALLY big. So if that doesn't appeal to you, this coat isn't for you. It has a good weight, so it hangs perfectly. This is essential for making it look slenderizing through the shoulders, and leading to the large "bubble" at the bottom. It really is flattering, IF you get the size right and understand how the style of the coat works. It's practically a godsend for someone who lacks curves and looks for clothing that create an illusion of curves. I'm 5'4" tall and the length on me is the same as on the model. I weigh 159 lbs., and the coat looks fabulous in the size large. The medium may have worked, but looking at some of the customer photos, the ones where the coat looks smaller, it also looks less flattering.
