Forever 21 has done it … again. Even the waist ties have almost identical stitching. The quality is not as good — and the lining has some haggard emo-esque pattern (like black stars on a white canvas), but seriously — this is ridiculous. From afar, you wouldn’t know the difference — hasn’t forever 21 had enough lawsuits?? Apparently not.

For you girls who can sew, Butterick makes an almost identical coat pattern.

A little altering and it’d be the same thing . I’m not sure how I’d go about adding the zip off hood but I imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult to mess around with.

I’m happy with my Old Navy version.

There was a tag on it but the person cut off the section with the price. This is such a mystery! I’m having trouble finding a a way to wear it buttoned up without looking pregnant. any suggestions?

i just got my forever 21 bailey in the mail and was pleasantly surprised. of course the quality was not as good as the Mike & chris but it still looked great and you can’t really tell. It’s just thinner than the original. I’m pretty happy with it!

^if it would make you feel better, free people’s is $125 pre-tax + s/h and it appears to be the same.

i totally gave in and ordered this online. I ended up paying about 75 including shipping (eeek!!), which is probably like $50 more than it is in the store. I’ll let you know how the quality is. Does anyone know how much the original price is?
