I was so excited yesterday to see my store had the Two paths ruffle trench! They only had size 6 and up on the floor *momentarily crushed* but the SA had my size hiding in the back room. I tried on the size 0. The trench fits perfect in the shoulders but was a little roomy in the body. The sleeves are also a bit long for me. I was hoping it came in petite online but nope. The regular size 0 is certainly workable, it just runs slightly larger than my Inverness trench.
The fabric is polyester with a low key shine. Just slick enough for rain to not soak in. I doubt it is water proof though. The soft fabric combined with the lining makes the coat a little squishy and more comfortable than a crisp cotton trench.
If it was cotton instead of poly, the ruffles may have been thinner and less bulky. But can you image the wrinkles! Even in the polyester the coat could use a pressing. Although there is some width added by the layers from the hip down, I don’t think it is unflattering. They lay nice and flat and the coat is surprisingly streamline from the side and back.
Now for the pics! I took this out onto the floor so I could get better photos for you. Unfortunately, there was something on the ceiling casting a major shadow on the mirrors. Still, much better than Anthro’s dark dressing rooms.
