about the carrington coat
The Carrington is fantastically flattering and easy to wear.
It is designed to fall to the calf, has bracelet length sleeves, neatly tailored shoulders and a generous swing. Two small seams accentuate a flattering waisted shape at the back, while jetted pockets sit at a subtly slanted angle at the front.
The design can be worn open or closed. When closed, the two front panels of the coat should be able to meet without either straining at the rear or overlapping at the front; they can be held together to keep the coat closed with any of our closures.
body type
The Carrington works well on straighter frames with more modest busts.
