How is Delia's sizes and quality?

Question

I am looking for a peacoat for this fall/winter. My style is casual prep, and I live in a small city in NY state far from NYC, so the winters are COLD. I am 20, and the thing is, I'm petite (5'0), so I can't find things that fit at the shoulders/arms. I know altering is an option, but usually you need to find and EXTREMELY good tailor to fix the arm area, so I want something that I don't have to fix. My question is, I heard Delia provides a good range of sizes, is this true? Is their quality up to par? Is there anywhere else that has a good range of sizes, high quality and not cheap-looking? And don't say Old Navy because I think the stuff there looks cheap and ppl can recognize that you wore something from old navy. I think thier quality is pretty good, but when they try to make more formal/expensive things like coats or blouses, they just stink.

I think that if you're 20 years old you're not going to find absolutely anything at delia's. Delias is for those funky alternative girls not for a prep-ster like you or me...if you want to find a nice peacoat i will try a place like Nordstrom, its a really good place and they have very high quality clothing... another place is Neiman Marcus... now they will alter the clothing for you ( i think nordstrom will too) anything you buy from {nordstrom bloomingdales neiman marcus} will last you many winters to come...and if there isnt one close to you...drive! everyone has to make sacrifices for fashion and beauty!
Good luck!
