Was starting to panic a bit, I bought this coat when on holiday , it was to big and they only had the one and I so loved it on, so the nice lady did some altering , I told her not to panic sending it in the post as I was away from home and would rather it didn't arrive till I was home, but hell I have been home for a while now.
Have to hide it from Hubby now though as when I bought it I was supposed to be buying some tramping clothes to hike in the bush since I left for holiday not prepared for roughing it :uhno: He got sick of walking up and down the street waiting on me and came into the boutique I was in (not a tramping garment in sight):hehe:
seen me with this coat on inside out and the lady pinning it, looked at me horrified and said I'll be in the camper having a coffee, I said best you do :P
when I reached the camper empty handed he looked at me and said "what didn't you get it after all that time and trouble" My reply " No you upset me to much I told them to forget it" he had no idea it was coming in the post :y:
and he was putty in my hands for the rest of the holiday :jump:
The photo doesn't do it justice, it is really soft and drappy long at the front up at the back

this is close up of the pockets , sort of frayed ribbon and on the bottom

certainly no good for hiking in the bush ;)
