I have been wanting to get this exact coat for over half a year now, and even after reading all the reviews, I was concerned that the "satin" meant the coat would be that cheap polyester satin that would basically get shredded if it ever caught on something. I couldn't tell from the picture either what kind of satin material it would be. But since the reviews have been so positive (thanks everyone!), I decided to go for it.I just got the coat now, and I was blown away. The satin look is very subtle, and actually quite sturdy in feel. It is not the flimsy cheap satin I was afraid of. The coat fit perfectly too--I'm usually a size 0, 5'5", 115 lbs, and I was wearing a sweater and it fit totally fine. It hits me about mid-thigh, or 3-4 inches above the knees. I LOVE everything about it, except for the fact that I was really hoping for a detachable hood and faux fur collar (just personal preference). But I think this actually looks more timeless. Now I think I might go for the black one too, just b/c it might match more things, and plus it costs less than this one!Just a note if you're more curvy--I think it's a fitted, and narrow coat generally. So if you have much sider hips, it might be snug. But I still would give it a shot. I love it.
