Joan Rivers Classic Trench TSV

Saw a picture in the Insider and interested in ordering but not sure about sizing. I'm 5'4", 130 lbs 34" bust. Thanks for any help...

Re: Joan Rivers Classic Trench TSV

If memory serves me (it's been a while since I've ordered a JR clothing item), her sizing is less generous than other lines on the Q. I think it depends on how you want it to fit or what you predict you'll wear underneath it. For my personal taste, I don't like outerwear to be skin tight, so if it were me (I'm 5'2" 105-ish 34A), I'd size up to XS probably. Unless the chest measurements are huge like Basso's because I'm flat-chested, then I'd go with my regular XXS. Hope this helps.

I just chatted with customer service. They can provide chest measurements that may help you. I want all colors!! Oh, no!

I got one of her coats a number of years ago and had to return because I needed a petite size. The arms were maybe four inches too long and the scale of the coat was way off. I wish they'd make it with a slightly flared skirt, as this straight style does not look good on me. It's a beautiful coat, but it looked awful on me because of both the proportions and the cut.

I have several of her trench coats. I am 5'8" and normally wear a size 6. Her coats in small fit me perfectly. By the way, I get lots of compliments whenever I wear one!

Re: Joan Rivers Classic Trench TSV

I'm your size, exactly, and I usually have my best luck when I order the small in everything.

I don't like my clothes tight fitting, especially outerwear.

There have been just a few occasions, when I thought I might be happier in a medium, but very, very few.

It seems that the mediums always seem much larger than the smalls. They tend to be cut a lot larger in the shoulder area, and then I just look bigger than I like to look, even though I might appreciate the roominess, if you know what I mean.

It's a hard decision, sometimes, but I tend to do best with smalls, and sometimes even an extra-small, but I wouldn't order that in this case.

Just saw the trench coat in an email from QVC and it's a classic in some pretty colors. People sometimes mention her line runs a little small, so you might want to try a medium. By the way, I see Crystaltree is being incredibly helpful as usual.

How kind of you. Your usual charming self. You are obviously miserable and unhappy, so why can't you just go away and sulk?
