It's a shame this is not wide enough
I got this coat (and the equivalent in men's the "Enstranged" coat) because people mentioned the long sleeves, something I have trouble with with women's coats. The sleeves are of a good, long length, they kept my hands covered up to the fingers which would have kept me warm.
However as many others say this coat is just too narrow, it fit me fine around the chest, was actually too loose around my waist even with the belt tightened all the way, and was too tight around my hips. It seems like it's not fitted for women at all!
I tried it on and unfortunately while the tightness around the waist was not too bad, it made using the pockets very difficult.
It's such a nice looking coat as well, and the hood was a good size in that it covered my head without blocking my view.
I returned for a refund.

The best raincoat I've ever had
This is probably the most amazing coat I've ever owned, I absolutely love the details and the features on it.
It fits really well and shows off my shape, but it's roomy enough to wear a couple of layers underneath if you need extra warmth. I love that the hood is adjustable (I always have such problems with hoods) so it won't ever get in my way.
My favourite part are the long cuffs with thumb holes. I'm a tall girl with long arms so I always struggle to find women's coats that are long enough in the arms, these are absolutely perfect and keep me cosy with the extended cuffs. The cuff tightening is also incredibly clever, using velcro but the tab is on elastic so it pulls the cuff to it so you don't end up with tabs that are flapping about because they're too long and fastened right at the back of the velcro.
There are plenty of pockets to store your things in, I tend to use a backpack as well however and I do find I get too hot at the back. The ventilation zips under the arms are absolute genius though and really do provide excellent cooling, although I've not had them open during heavy rain to see if water can get in from that location when they're open.
I honestly wish every raincoat had the same features this one does, from the adjustable hood to the clever cuff tightening and the ventilation, the EMP 'horn' hands logo as the zip pulls is just the icing on the cake.

I feel great in this!
I bought this to wear at work - something semi-casual, not too bold, and not a band t-shirt (even though I wear a lab coat over my tops for most of the day). This fits the bill perfectly! I feel great in this t-shirt, I love the lace on the shoulders (although this can make it feel a bit tight). It is quite figure hugging though, so I was slightly conscious of how tight it might look at work. This is a great t-shirt, whether wearing it for work like me or casually for a day out.

Awesome trousers, loose on the legs, odd pockets
These trousers look great, they've got nice details but not too much going on. They fit really nicely, the material has a little stretch in it but not too much. The bottom half zips off to leave cool board short fitting shorts. It's just a shame the side pockets are on the bottom half of the trousers as they're pretty much useless all the way down there. The normal pockets are really deep though, perfect for stashing all your stuff. I have a feeling mine arrived incomplete, as I've only got crossed chains on one side pockets. However I like the asymmetry and it means I don't jangle so much when I walk. The bottom of the legs have helpful draw strings but they DO get in the way. I've had to tie them to the chains above to keep them clean (those plastic caps on the ends are great and breaking and getting lost). I'm really happy with my new trousers, ideal no matter what the season!

Come to the Dark Side, we have cake!
I bought this in anticipation of Star Wars themed baking (my dad's a huge fan, he loves Star Wars themed anything) so I decided this May 4th to make a Darth Chocolate Sponge. I filled it all the way to the top because I was worried the cowl wouldn't fill out if I just left it to rise into position. I was right, as a refill with less batter left me with a burnt cowl area as it was underfilled. However, filling it completely to ensure all little nooks will have cake in them meant I ended up with a huge dome on the back of the 'head'.
The cake batter, when cooked properly, comes out like a dream, but due to it being so deep you need to cook your cake for a little longer than most recipes suggest - mine took a full 15 minutes longer, but a simple knife test will let you know if it's ready.
The cake comes out perfectly formed, in fact because it's silicone it has a lovely smooth, shiny appearance - it's surely a cake worthy of the Sith Lord himself.

Subtly sexy
This top allows you to cover up but also tease a bit of skin. Looks amazing when worn with a push up bra, the plunging neckline covered by mesh is incredibly flattering. It is well fitted so won't mask your natural shape, and I especially like the laced up sleeve ends to give it that extra Goth look. A must have basic wardrobe piece.

Really well fitting, quite thin
These trousers fit really well, the material has some give to them so they feel great. However as the other reviewer noted the material is a bit thin, it feels closer to wearing leggings than wearing jeans. They kept me comfortable during a Powerwolf concert though, so I'm happy!
