I loved this coat when I saw it on line and it is indeed a very cute style in person. I ordered my usual coat size and it seemed to fit well. The rose color is a real red and quite cheerful. My only problem with the coat was in the way the shoulders fit me. The waist of the coat is a little tapered in which gives it a tailored look, but by contrast, the shoulders, at least on me, looked a little too broad. I checked to see if they were padded but they are not. It's just the way the seaming is done. After some debate (because I really liked the coat) I ended up returning it. Otherwise, I liked the weight of the coat (for cool but not freezing cold days) and the three-quarter length.
