Wool Coats for EveryBODY!

Petites:
Short styles work best because it doesn't overwhelm a small frame

Plus Size:
 High Collar necklines and clean details including hidden buttons and very little seaming details in a wool blend is most flattering without adding bulk!

STYLE TIP:


This stitching that is found on the back, at the pleat or slit at the bottom of coats and skirts, is there to make sure the detail stays flat and doesn't crease while being shipped to stores to sell.
PLEASE CUT IT OFF!
