reirye2true Hi! Could you please provide measurements?? Thank you😊

shopsellow Hi @reirye2true I provided them on their separate listings. I'll tag you so you can see yourself :)

shopsellow @auroraskies8 SUPER warm but a different kind of warm than what a down coat would offer (like the first two coats I replied to you about). This is the heaviest coat out of all you inquired about but that's because it's made of wool but I like it because it makes a great barrier from the cold. Would look adorable with a scarf! It also looks great on it's own with the hardware on the side waists of the jacket. Gorgeous option for fall-spring with the bold ruby color.

shopsellow @auroraskies8 oh yeah. I am a medium as well (34C bust) and can snap it close as pictured and am wearing a shirt underneath (can't remember which though). There is definitely room for a sweater (at least in my opinion?) there is a matching shirt dress that goes with this that's intended to be worn underneath it with the same material, brass embellishments and thick collar. Very cute! I wanted to point that out so you knew that there were pinches for inches 😉

shopsellow @auroraskies8 it's kind of a mix between all the jackets you were looking at. It's a tad heavier but also a bit more structured/formal (which I like since it could be worn to work, church, out at night, for errands etc and would instantly make you look super put together without any effort). Heck wear a ratty Tee and jeans and everyone would think you were all dressed up haha

Jul 26Reply

shopsellow @auroraskies8 also not just with the weight and the structure/look but it's also a long coat. The embellishments on the side are a bit dated since it's vintage but could be easily removed and altered to have a more secure belt attached. There are definitely options.

Jul 26Reply

shopsellow @auroraskies8 and though the sleeves are a bit shorter (well on me since I'm a bit of a gangly giant, almost 6ft with awkward arms to match) I'm not 100% but can double check the hems on the arms to see if there's room for a tailor to lengthen. Again, just trying to offer flexibility :)

Jul 26Reply

shopsellow Hey @reirye2true! So the inseam length for both sleeves AND the seam from shoulder to shoulder are both roughly 17in, measured from the underside of the sleeve, on the seam, from the armpit to the end cuff. But even though the cuffs are neatly sewn, there is an extra 2.5-3.5in of extra material that can be "let out" by a professional tailor for not much money (depending on where you live will run you $5-15ish). Let me know if that wasn't clear/helpful!

Jul 26Reply

shopsellow @reirye2true You can definitely tell this coat was hand made so any work you'd want to do to it (if any, really -- not necessary just for personal preferences) would be an easy fix for any tailor.

Jul 26Reply

shopsellow Oh my gosh I'm SO sorry! I'm new to the city I live in and was set up on this blind friend date that started earlier than expected last minute ran HOURS longer than I wanted it to, left right when I got back from work and didn't get back until 10 p.m. :( :( :( I didn't mean to make you feel like I had disappeared -- will get this to you asap!

Jul 27Reply

shopsellow @auroraskies8 Okay I think I got the request completed. Since taking photos for this the mirror in my apartment with that lighting isn't available anymore. But I took one with a gray and black fur infinity scarf, white chunky knit oversized scarf, velvet long elbow gloves,a winter fur Headband to cover the ears and one with boat coats layered over each other.

Jul 29Reply

shopsellow @auroraskies8 so sorry that took a little bit longer than estimated. Took me a bit to drudge up all of my winter wear (all were in storage and not in the same one at that). I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the outfit with the two matching articles?

Jul 29Reply

shopsellow Thank you @auroraskies8. If you need anything else, feel free to ask. Have a good weekend!

Jul 29Reply

shopsellow @auroraskies8 all accessories were gifts. I've never worn these coats so I don't have accessories for them specifically but to meet what you were asking I tried to get things close for a visual aid for you but of course different colors/patterns/textures would match better. At least the last two pictures are close enough for you to merge together mentally to imagine what you were asking.

romanoa19 I absolutely love this piece! I'm usually an xs in costs since I'm so petite. Too bad, the color of this is just stunning! Just curious about the measurements?

shopsellow @romanoa19 Oh my gosh I'm sorry I made you wait! So the inseam length for both sleeves AND the seam from shoulder to shoulder are both roughly 17in, measured from the underside of the sleeve, on the seam, from the armpit to the end cuff.

Jan 10Reply

shopsellow @romanoa19 armpit to armpit flat across in the back measures about 18 in so you have a bit more room there. The length from the armpit down to the botom hem is 28in long.There is also extra room in the bottom hem to let out with a tailor (or shorten to your preferred length).

Jan 10Reply

shopsellow @romanoa19 total length from shoulder seam to bottom length is 38in. I'm 5"10 and though on the more athletic build side my arms are much too gangly and long for this coat although it would look extra nice with long gloves to hide that gap. Did I answer your question?

Jan 10Reply

shopsellow @romanoa19 Forgot to include measurements for the dress: armpit to armpit flat across is 18in. Length from bottom of armpit to bottom hem is ~29.5in. Top of the cowl neckline to tank edge is 6in. Waist (the horizontal line from where the brass buttons are is 15in flat across).

Jan 10Reply

romanoa19 @clarissastoll yes this answered all my questions! Thank you so much!!

Jan 10Reply

liptonroyal @clarissastoll such a beautiful coat!!! Are there any stains/snags that I should be aware of? The last picture has something that looks like dark stain, but it may just be the lighting 😊 thank you so much

Jan 27Reply

liptonroyal @clarissastoll hello! Thank you for your reply! Would you mind getting back to me about above question as well? Thank you!

marilynd781 @romanoa19 Would you simply list the measurements, please? Chest Waist Hips

Jul 23Reply

shopsellow @marilynd781 5 comments above yours I have the measurements listed. I’m listed by character count in the description otherwise it would be provided there 💛💛

Jul 23Reply

shopsellow @marilynd781 if there is something you’re specifically missing please let me know and I will accommodate the request!

marilynd781 @clarissastoll Armpit to armpit inches

Jul 23Reply

shopsellow @marilynd781 it was in the comments above this-armpit to armpit seam flat across is 18in :)

Jul 23Reply

marilynd781 @clarissastoll Hips, please!

Jul 23Reply

shopsellow @marilynd781 don’t have hips (if you didn’t see waist is 15in across). I’m out running errands now but can get that to you in the next few hours-hang tight!🤗

marilynd781 Thanks…

shopsellow ::::UPDATED SIZE INFORMATION:::: - Lowest button right at belly button/waist: 18in across laid flat - When measuring on mannequin: Shoulder to shoulder seam flat across 17in - Armpit to armpit seam flat across(bust) 19in - Waist (measured flat across from bottom of seamed pocket 21.5in - Inseam from armpit seam to bottom hem 28.5in length - Sleeve inseam 15in

Jul 29Reply

shopsellow @marilynd781 size information has been updated right above my comment to you! :)

Jul 29Reply

marilynd781 @clarissastoll Thank you!

Jul 29Reply

shopsellow @marilynd781 you’re so welcome. I’ve taken updated pictures of the jacket as well but it’s overcast today so any darkness you see are just shadows. On the mannequin and laid flat it did measure slightly larger than what I initially told you so do compare that to what I previously shared and still think this is best for UP to a dress size 4/6 as wool doesn’t have much give/stretch. If I’ve missed anything please bring that to my attention!!

Jul 29Reply

degrant1 @shopsellow are the updated measurements you provided on your previous updated for the dress or coat? And are you selling it as a set or can they be purchased separately?

Dec 08Reply

shopsellow @degrant1 Most recent measurements in the comment section are for the coat, measurements for dress are listed on Jan 9th comment. Pieces are listed separately (or buy both on this listing to save)😊

Dec 08Reply

shopsellow @degrant1 Poshmark just increased the description character limit so I’ll update that with clarifying details 🙂 Any other questions please let me know!

degrant1 @shopsellow awesome, thanks for clarifying
