Wow

I wish I'd learned of this coat's existence before New Year's. The black version would have looked amazing with my dress.

I might actually still get it. It's not like I'm never going to wear the dress again, and $90 is not unreasonable for a light-weight dressy coat.

The fact that it looks like is should cost so much more does make me wonder if it's cheaply made. On the other hand, so pretty!

I think the fact that it seems to be largely polester and spandex likely has something to do with the less-than-steep price.

Not so much for actually keeping warm, then. :)

And a large chunk of the rest is cotton, so yeah, probably not so much for the warm... but maybe as a costume piece, or layered over other things in spring/fall weather, it looks like it would be ideal. I'd love to get my hands on one and see if the pattern is really just a pattern or if it's somehow a jacquard. I suspect the former.
