I have tried on many Burberry trenches and this one fit me the best. I am only, 5.1 and the other trenches were much too long and overwhelmed my frame. The fit is true to size and perfect for Spring and fall weather with a light sweater beneath. I purchased this in Black and it will be perfect for casual or dressy outfits. I would highly recommend this if you are petite.
I have always wanted a classic Burberry trench coat but didn't know which one would best suit my shape. I'm 5'0" and about 108-110 lbs. I went to the Burberry boutique in LA and tried on several styles but fell in love with the Mottram. I tried the trench coat in both the trench and black colors, and both fit well. Luckily, that same day, I saw the Mottram on sale at Nordstrom online, however it was sold out. So, I went to the nearest Nordstrom and had one tracked down. After a week or so, it was mailed to me - Size 2. It is presently with the tailor at a nearby Nordstrom store getting the sleeves altered to better fit me. The rest of the trench coat fits nicely and gives me the option to wear a variety of shirts and sweaters. I especially love the classic Burberry detail in the collar and lining. This is a classic trench coat, and I love that it fits my petite frame.

LOVE this trench. Burberry's classic garment with an updated fit. Works really well on my petite frame, in comparison to the traditional trench which made me look like I was drowning in fabric.
