about the eardley
​
The Eardley is one of the most shaped and tailored of our coats. It has neat pleats at the shoulders and a structure that mirrors the traditional hourglass shape.
Flattering for all sizes, this coat is designed with the more ample bosom and fuller figure in mind. Generously wide full length sleeves are slitted at the wrist and have deep internal hems, allowing the wearer to fold-back the cuff elegantly. It has two hidden seam pockets and is designed to be worn low on the calf.
​
While the coat is designed to be worn open, the two front panels should be able to meet without straining at the rear.

The Eardley is designed for the curvier frame and is hugely flattering.

– | the eardley sizing | –
The size table below shows the measurements of the Eardley coat in both inches and centimetres. The graphic and accompanying table show the points at which the measurements have been taken.
In selecting your size please remember that these are the garment measurements – your own measurements will be smaller than those shown on the chart – ie a size 8 might typically have a bust measurement of 83cm, fitting a coat with a bust of 94cm.
​
When selecting your size, please bear in mind what you think you might want to wear underneath your coat and remember that while we can take coats in, we cannot let them out.
