Seeking a white winter coat

[Anonymous]

Looking for a white winter coat for church, evening dates, etc. Not the thing I'd wear to the bus stop! Size 14. Just bought and returned this one from J. Crew because it "Antique Linen" was more pinkish and wound up looking a little dull. https://www.jcrew.com/womens_special_sizes/tall/outerwearblazers/PRD~52607/52607.jsp

Where should I look? Budget of $300 +/-. Thanks!

I wore the perfect white dressy coat at my January wedding a few years ago. Sadly, it is no longer available, and the designer, Sofia Cashmere, isn't making anything like it this year. I looked for you, thinking it might be a great fit, if you could find a coat on sale.

While this is not what I had in mind for you, what about something like this?

Note the coupon code for an additional 40 percent off.

And, while this is in black, it might be really stunning. And it wouldn't have to be cleaned as much:

I realize this last suggestion is closer to $400 than $300, even with the coupon code. But it's an elegant coat in your size. And, for the money, much better than you could get at J Crew.

Thank you! They're both beautiful, but my heart is set on white. That first one is very tempting, and I hadn't thought to look at Off5th. Thank you!!

I understand about having your heart set on a color. I'm just sorry the coat I wore at my wedding is no longer available to you. It looks sort of like this, but longer, and with a centered zip up the front:

And it was not only perfect for the occasion (January wedding in New York).... but also on sale. I think I paid $400.

I looked around a lot of places to find something right for you.... I love coats! ...but unfortunately, either white isn't a big color this year, or maybe the winter white coats aren't out yet.

Good luck!!!!
