How does the sizing run?

Small. The cut follows Asian sizing, which runs one to two sizes below US and European labels, so size up if you are between sizes. Measure your bust and waist against the chart rather than ordering your usual size.

What is the coat made of?

It is a velvet coat with embroidered detailing and metal buttons. The listing does not give a fiber breakdown, so ask the seller for the exact composition before buying if you avoid synthetics.

Can I wear it every day?

It is built for dressier outfits: dates, retro styling and evenings out. Velvet pile crushes and picks up marks with daily wear, so it holds up better as an occasional layer than as a commuter coat.

What do I wear under it?

A turtleneck, denim and retro boots or shoes are the intended pairings. The fitted waist means bulky knits underneath will strain the buttons.

Will the color match the photos?

Not always. Screen settings shift how velvet and embroidery read, and the seller notes the actual color may differ slightly from the images.

How should I care for the velvet?

Brush the pile rather than pressing it, and avoid heavy heat that flattens velvet. Follow the care label, and store it on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.
