LOVE IT!!! I'm actually surprised that it fit me. I ordered the XL size by checking the measurements and figured that would fit me. It is an actual coat the opens completely, but the buttons are kind of flimsily and I fear that if I button them or unbutton hard that they will fall. If that were to happen I could easily fix it, but still I don't want that to happen. The price is high, but when you think about it, cute lolita clothes are going to cost a lot.
