Love it
This top is so comfy, the fabric is nice and soft, it's a loose fit but the band around the bottom stops it from riding up as it hugs the hips nicely. I usually wear a size 14-16 and the XL is perfect. I would recommend washing it before wearing it though as the print has quite a horrible smell when it's new, it smelled fishy and just not nice!

Nice coat, but could fit better
I really like the look of this coat, the straps on the front give it a different look to the average parka, though they are a bit of a faff to fasten! It's a lot warmer than I was expecting, a bit too warm for mid February really, but it'll come in handy when the weather gets cold again. I love the fact that it has inside pockets, a lot of women's coats don't, so it's nice to have them. The front pockets are a bit low down though, so not ideal for keeping your hands warm, also, the pocket flaps further up on the front of the coat are just flaps, not pockets! My main problem with the coat is that it's not really made for big hips, it's quite straight cut and roomy across the shoulders, but the split in the back gapes a bit when it's fastened and it rides up a bit when I walk, so be aware of this if you're a bit pear-shaped like me! The hood also sticks up quite a bit which looks weird, though I'm hoping it'll calm down a bit once the fabric's a bit more worn in, it's quite stiff when new! Overall, it's a decent coat, just more suited to someone with slimmer hips!

Nice shorts, but way too small
The shorts are made from a lightweight fabric so would be nice for summer. Unfortunately the size XXL was way too small for me, I'm a UK size 14-16 but have big hips, though I always wear an XL in EMP's leggings. I'm going to send them back and go up 2 sizes and hope for the best, but it would be really helpful if there was a specific size chart for this item as they don't match up with the generic one.
