Reviews and feedback suggest customers are more likely to find the coats too large rather than anything else. This is less likely to be the case if also purchasing the zip-in fleece or wish to add a layer of clothing.

We believe the Kensington to be suitable for women 5'2" or taller. If shorter than this we recommend the Chelsea.
The Kensington measures 120cm from base of neck and the Chelsea 105cm.
