This is a really good winter coat! I, too, found that the size was slightly larger than I expected but it's better to accommodate several layers of clothing than to be too small. There's more room in the waist than the shoulders it seems. Order your normal size and I think you will be fine. I'm not sure about the last review but I found the colors to be quite accurate, the white isn't blinding white but mine didn't really look pink. You can't tell from the picture, but the sleeves have a stretchy interior sleeve that is very comfortable for winter and there's also a zipper hidden beneath the hook buttons. It's probably a warmer coat than the picture portrays. I find it to be very comfortable and attractive!! I'm definitely keeping it!

i adore this coat. it does run a bit large, but is well-lined with a great big hood and these cuffs at the wrist that are just hidden under the sleeves and keep in the heat wonderfully. the pink isn't an issue for me - i think the whole color scheme works well. unbelievably comfortable and just *cute*

The coat itself is awesome. I can tell that it will keep me toasty warm if I wear it outside. The hood comes forward far enough that it will block any snow from getting in my eyes (which is important when your campus gets lots of snowstorms!). The details are really cute. It seems to be well-made. It's slightly big, but only so much that it allows for layering. I, for instance, am normally a medium, so I got it in a medium, and it's a little roomy. I was very disappointed with the coloring. In the image it looks like the coat has some white parts (besides the navy, red, and yellow), but on my coat those parts are actually a light pink. All of the parts I had assumed to be white are consistently light pink, so I'm not sure if it just didn't show up in the photo or if the dyes bled or whatever else. The coat seems great, but the colors are bugging me enough that I might exchange it.
