I totally agree with all your points. Especially how the defined waist is so important. I have a rectangle body shape so it’s even more crucial for me to create those curves! It just really sucks that the trend for coats right now is an oversized/mens-wear style that doesn’t have a fitted look let alone a defined waist 😠 so it’s been like impossible to find one that does

[@PetiteDressing]

Can't agree more!

I'm 4'11 and have a short torso. Recently found the perfect X shape long coat, but what I really adore about it is that at the back there is a button keeping my upper back flat rather than bunched up which seems to occur in every other coat I've tried.

You are correct! Purchasing a coat is an investment that can last many years, depending on the maker and the quality of the garment. The way you take care of it is crucial as well. I have three older sisters, and one year my sister and I traded coats with one another of instead of purchasing a new coat for fashion reasons. It saved us both money and I had gotten so many compliments on this tweed long tailored coat. I remember my favorite coat was a black belted long flared at the bottom coat. It also had a silver fox trim collar which kept me very warm. My mom purchased it at Abraham & Strauss, Company. For all you youngsters it used to be a department store simular to Macy’s. Since she worked in the store she would receive a discount on purchases even if the item was on sale. So she often would come home with some treasure from this quality store. I loved the A-lined, belted black coat on you. I also loved the brown faux- fur brown jacket at the beginning (the one with the sleeves too long). I would have liked to purchase that, but I did not see a link for this jacket. BYW: I had one in an off-white and kept it for many years. After being teased about it by my sisters, I gave it to Goodwill. Now I wish I had kept it! I am very happy to have your channel as a guide, now that we do a lot of shopping online. You have a very good eye for choosing good pieces. Thank you!!!

[@PetiteDressing]

Glad I found your channel! I'm actually 5'5 but I tend to shop petite sizes for coats because I liked mostly how tailored it look on me and the length is just right and not overwhelming.

[@vals74]

There are so many choices out there. I wish you all the best in finding a perfect fitting coat for you! Have you tried Burlington? I did not have a very high opinion about this store, until I finally went in and was amazed at all of the selections and marked down prices on designer brands. I no longer live near to one of these stores, but I just realized I could check online. 💡🤔. Good luck to you❣️

Glad I stumbled upon your channel! Something new to me "Long coats for short people!" I threw away my long coat as it like a long straight shape on my body. guess like 10 yrs ago they don't have petite sizes. Now Macy's is doing away with petite sizes. What are these Store owners trying to do? Only 20% of women in the world have the height of 5'-10"! Thank you for your ideas to help short people dress well!

[@FatiMa-qh2fr]

I'm 5'2, I bought last week an X shape long coat and long chic boots with heels, I was so worried about looking shorter but actually they made me look longer! I was surprised and very happy cause I wanted to have a long coat for a long but I used to hear that they'll make me look shorter

[@mtaylor7307]

For a second, I misread petite for pretty dressing as your channel name...or did I? I have gotten more compliments since following your advice and I tell not only petite women about you because you give practical advice for all shapes. As for the tailors? I had a maxi coat that I had altered by using the bottom to create a high waisted band and of course the sleeve length. That coat was so nice it was stolen at an office party. Thanks for all your great advice!

[@PetiteDressing]

Love that! Thank you, M Taylor!

[@Mzbonezz]

I recommend everyone checking out Kibbe body types. For her body, longer works. For other petite girls, it may smother them.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

If sleeves will need shortening, pick a simple, plain cuff. Vented, zippered, or other detailed, cuffs will be a lot more expensive to shorten, making the coat overall too expensive. Decorative-only buttons aren’t expensive too move, if the cuff is otherwise simple. My problem is that I’m a (naturally) busty petite, if I want a coat to close in front, the shoulders are always too big. (Something to think about before implants, nothing fits properly if over a C or max, a D, cup). But, I don’t think wrap styles are warm, it’s my upper chest and neck that feels the cutting wind the most. Even petite coats can have enormous 5” shoulder seams, 4” is better on narrow frames.

I ordered a really expensive coat, not realizing it was cocoon shape, they must have had the back waist clamped, as they do. It also turned put to be a pale mauve, not ivory color as stated. There’s nothing I like about it except the quality. I couldn’t get it together to ship it back at that time, but I never wore it.

I am about 5' 1" over 50 and more a pear shape. I only wear jeans or pants, never dresses or skirts. I do not wear high heels ever but I do wear either ankle boots with about 2 inch heel or wedgy shoes, with a 2 inch heels. It seems like puffy coats, either jackets or longer makes you look even heavier, unless you are very slender. The horizontal lines, seem (in my opinion), maybe adds weight? Even ones that are more fitted jackets, seem to add weight ( still due to the puffiness), horizontal lines. But, please let me know what you think about puffy jackets if you are NOT super slender? The one you wore for this video looked nice, but you are quite slender.

As you live in New Jersey, I live in New York, well upstate, with cold, lingering snow and cold. When buying a coat---every one of your styling tips are perfect -- I was taught to always wear a bulky blazer, buttoned up when trying on coats. nothing looks more ridiculous than a woman carrying a sweater or blazer because her coat would not fit otherwise! This is all too common and why so many sloppy women wear hoodies, layered. Not chic
