I had never bought a coat online before, but this was such a great deal I thought I'd give it a try. The coat is beautiful, very nice fabric and high quality (at least so far, I've only worn it once), and nice and warm. I chose it because it seemed like a very versatile coat, dressy but also good for casual, and that's exactly what I got. It does run a bit small. I got the medium, which is what I would normally get, and it's just a tad bit tight across the chest and shoulders. I have a pretty slim build, so I picked the medium after seeing that other reviews said it ran a bit small. It still works for me, I just won't be able to wear some of my bulkier sweaters under it. I would totally buy it again.
