Just joined the Icon Teddy coat club! Camel hair version. No photos yet... but am pretty excited!
Love everyone's beautiful pictures! I love Max Mara coats but I'm petite and I find them overwhelming on my frame. The belted coats make me look dumpy and the I look ridiculous in the teddy bear coat (while a dream to wear). Is there a style someone can recommend for a small frame?
Yes I would avoid the double breasted and tie belt styles as they add so much bulk. I have 4 coats and they are mainly Princess cut and simple. I find those ending above my knee very flattering. Alternatively a shorter hip length style and don’t forget to ask if they can alter in stores. They have such a wide range, I think you will find the perfect one.
I am not petite, so am sorry that I cannot give you an exact style and hope someone here can suggest a good one for you. But if you are able to go to a stand alone Max Mara store and especially one in Italy or in a large city, I'm sure you will find something. There are SO MANY beautiful coats of varying designs and I have found the sales associates to be really good, helpful, and honest about what suits one's frame.
Best wishes on your search!
ETA---I see @periogirl28 has come up with really great suggestions!

Thanks so much for the response! Double breasted anything on me is a nightmare. I had a burberry trench that I had to let go for that reason. I've only tried long belted coats and a-line coats from Max Mara and neither are flattering. I haven't tried anything princess or simple yet so may need to look.

Thank you so much for the reply. The issue is that the stores I have gone to never have anything in my size. I may have to try the flagship store in NYC store as the department stores have limited sizes.
This is aweome! You hit the nail on the head with the size. I always thought I was a 36 but in Max Mara styles, I wear a much smaller size.
I didn't even know they had a 34, but I'd recommend any tres petite ladies to ask which styles are offered in this size and try them on.
WOW!!!! LOVE!! I'm drawn to the beige with your H Scarf and bag - such an elegant look. Thank you for posting.
You are welcome. Actually that's the Stone coloured one. It has some grey in it and a pretty pleated back which has gotten compliments from a few strangers, including 2 French ladies. The Beige is a wrap and tie and much thicker and warmer. I hope you find your perfect coat!
