This coat is a generous cut that looks supremely elegant on all types of bodies. We love using it as a coat but it looks great as a dress too. It has no collar for a clean summer feel. It has a  3/4 sleeve which is just what we want for summer and it cascades out from a neat bodice to an impressive a-line with 2 great pleats at the high waist. It is made from our signature fabric - which is a stretch linen rayon spandex mix that proves to be very durable and wonderful to wear! All of these features make it the go to coat for the season. If you want the coat to be close fitted then go down a size.
