Chessa is 5’6 and wears the almond size 2 in the straight cut. If you want a less generous silhouette for size down to 1, if you are curvy in the hip get the easy cut. we decided to hem Chessa’s coat an extra couple inches because it was a bit long on her in the end- final length is shown on image of me (wearing grey toque;) 

if there is demand for more sizes I’ll expand the size range.

**The difference in the new fit overcoat and the original is all in the shoulder and neck details. The original is more oversized in the collar and the shoulder has a more sleek silhouette. The new fit overcoat has more mobility in the shoulder and a closet fitting collar and hood. email if you need help figuring out which style is best for your needs:)
