Trench coats for shorter fatties?

Jan 03, 2010 20:19

Despite the cold and snowy weather, I've been searching for a trench coat to suit my plus-sized, 5'4" frame but haven't had any luck. So, dear fatshionistas, do you know where I may find one?  I typically wear a size 18/20 on top, and a plus-size 18 in most coats/jackets.  I'm looking for something like this, preferably in a taupe, navy, or red: http://s7.landsend.com/is/image/LandsEnd/345270_AK09_LF_SPB?op_sharpen=1&rgn=0,0,2000,3000&scl=7.462686567164179&id=2yt_5DPVhvt2YfY6IugaXy
I've seen a few satin trenches (I think Torrid had one once upon a time), but am not interested unless it's a satin-cotton.  I can't wear full-length/ankle-length coats, due to my height- I prefer something that hits just below the hips/above the knee.

I'm in Canada, so I need a Canadian friendly retailer that ships here (sorry, no Old Navy, Avenue, or Lane Bryant, sigh).  I will be in NYC for a week end in Feb, so if there are any NYC retailers that you can recommend, I'll set aside a few hours for shopping. :-)

Thanks so much!  Happy new year!
