When my gorgeous friend Keris introduced me to Fever Designs' 'Denver' coat, I was immediately smitten. Beautiful, formal length and with a lovely nipped waist, which was oh-so-1940s, I decided that it would be the perfect coat for my month-long sojourn in the UK at the end of this year! And did I mention that it was marked down to half-price? The only dilemma was which colour to buy!
After umming and aahing (and seeking the advice of my fashion partner in crime, Amber, of course) I settled on the blue. There's something about this shade that is so soft and alluring, that I found it drew my eye even more so than the red version! I know that it'll be perfect for keeping me warm on my trip.
If you love it as much as I do, all three colours are on sale and most sizes are in stock. Result!
You're welcome :)

LOVE that coat! So much so I ordered one too! I'm so glad I found your blog a little while ago or I would never have known about the gorgeousnous that is THE coat!! LOL!

Keris - *mwa!*
Sandy - YAY! It's just sooo gorgeous! I won't get to lay my hands on mine until I get to the UK (it's gone to my parents-in-law's place), so let me know how you go with it when it arrives! Glad I could be of coat service ;) p.s. Did you get the blue too?

I shall endeavour to remember to let you know what it's like when it arrives. I shamefully copied you with the colour too. I loved all 3 but I don't think hubs would let me buy 3! LOL!

Sandy, I totally had the same thought! I spent about an hour saying to myself "so, how can I convince my hubby that I need THREE new coats, when I live in a tropical climate???".
Long story short - obviously, I didn't come up with a convincing argument, so I went with my favourite, the blue! Please email me some photos of you in the coat when it arrives - I'm so excited to see how it looks 'in person' :)
(I'm still toying with the idea of sneakily purchasing the red coat, too... It's so darn pretty!!)

Well the coat is truely gorgeous and you won't be disappointed when you get to yours!! I don't know if your in laws are opening the package or whether they'll leave it for you, but mine came in quite a small box and is a bit creased, so you may want someone to open it up and hang it so it will be crease free for your arrival! (Although it does say you can iron it on the reverse...but then you have the lining fabric to contend with.)
It's got a nice weight to it, (it feels heavier than my old faithful Principles coat) and I'd say it is snug in sizing. Fits me wonderfully on the waist, just snugger round the top part! (But that's just me.) I've bought the biggest size they do so I shall just have to not eat any more cakes and chocs! LOL!
I REALLY want to own all 3 now but I can't see how I'd smuggle them in!
Thank you for posting it's loveliness!!
(I did try and take some pics but to no avail! Rooms are either too dark or windows in the wrong places or mirrors up too high!! I shall see if hubby will take a pic of me in it later.)

Ooh, you have TOTALLY made my day! Gosh, now I'm *itching* for the red one... I wonder if my size is still in stock...
Oh my!! Sandy, none of the coats are listed on the site anymore!! How LUCKY are we to have the blue ones safely in our clutches!! Mine's being stored in the box, but I might just ask my mum-in-law to hang it for me (I'm certain she'd be happy to do so), so that's it's ready for me to pop on in December :)
Am so glad that I blogged about it now, so that we both have lovely coats to wear! And I'd still love to see pics! xx

I went to stare longingly at the other colour coats and was surprised to see them gone too! At least it's stopped us buying more I suppose!
Plus we can be smug that we have the blue! LOL!

Just thought I'd comment that I FINALLY got my blue coat (it was waiting in the UK for me) and it is a fantastic coat. Absolutely love it and wore it everywhere over my hols.. I'm looking forward to when it cools down in Oz so that I can wear it again!
