Linea by Louis Dell'Olio

Do you think Louis will make his fabulous Trench Coat in a longer length, in the future? I adore it, but would love a mid calf length.

He and other QVC vendors should make their trench coats in petites.  I can't wear a sleeve longer than 30".  Years ago, I got one of Joan Rivers' coats but had to return it because it was not petite and the sleeves were very long.  The rest of it fit badly as well.  I no longer buy any outerwear or pants that aren't petite.  The last straw was when I got a trench coat I really liked on sale and it cost as much as the coat to have the sleeves shortened because the band just above the wrist had to be moved.  Never again.

@Lucylu12 ...

Here's the link to Louis' website:

He has an "Ask Louis" column as well as fabulous closeups of that gorgeous new color in the trench.   He'll be glad to personally answer your question.

@Ms X LDO and other designers don't make the decision to offer something in petite, QVC does.  Louis has explained that that he offers a number of designs and the QVC buyer decides which designs they want to produce and what sizes it will be offered in.  I'm 5'2" so I feel your pain!
