My winter coat is old and raggedy. My cloak is in need of a new lining. So, I followed a link to a pretty velvet coat. It's just what I want *and* it's on sale.

Then I see the length. 53"

I check my current ankle-length coat. 43". i checked its size: 12P. all my other clothing (okay, my tops and dresses, anyway) is 14/16, so I figured the 14 from silhouettes would fit. Obviously, my height (or lack thereof) isn't something I remember very often. It's pretty hard to find a petite coat that will accomodate my lovely cleavage. Dammit, short people can have boobs, too! And plus-size folks can be SHORT!

I've checked thrift stores. Coats I like aren't anywhere to be found. I'm not that hard to please: long, natural fiber, lined, and comes in black, dark purple, or charcoal gray.

*sigh*

Guess I'll have to keep looking.
