I bought this coat near the end of last year's winter--when the weather gets really cold and then decides to switch to spring within just a few weeks.  I decided on the solid dove color, which is a light grey.  I needed a longer coat to keep me warm when I wore skirts to the office.  This definitely did just that.  I kept warm down to bottom of my knees and the coat fits true to size.  It looks great on...except for the overly belled bottom.  It does fall away from the body starting at the waist and would be a help to anyone with curves to disguise.  I dont need my coat to bell out as much as this one does...but I have learned to like it.

Final thoughts:  I wouldn't have made this my top choice if I would have known how much it bells out at the bottom...but it is a nice looking coat non-the-less.
