I bought this coat online and was very weary of how it would fit.  I am probably a comfortable size 10 but am losing weight.  I didn't want to buy this and it fall off of me after a few months so I took a chance and bought a size 8.  It fits perfectly.  I would love to say that I must have dropped to a size 8 already but I will be honest and admit that the coat must run a little big.  I love the fit.  It shows my little curves and it very nice.  My husband loves it also.  It is a nice dressy coat.  I put it on one morning on my way to work and my 10 year old daughter asked me was I going to a meeting.  I guess this coat is much nicer than my previous winter coat.  :-)
