Hannah asks :

I've got a big bust but quite a small waist and I need to find a flattering coat for winter everything seems to look too big and bulky!

Your blessed with a big bust and tiny waist, well lucky you. But it can be a struggle to find flattering clothes that fit well at both areas. 

Oversize coats will most likely drown your entire figure, especially if you're petite too. But don't worry about wearing these if you have height as the whole look will balance itself out. 

The most flattering coats are going to be fit and flare and belted varities like a trench coat. 

A double breasted fit and flare coat will help to hug your curves and stop your body from looking bulky whilst doing so too. Plus the fur collar options are super-cute too. 

A trench coat is a style staple, so really is something you should invest in. You'll wear it forever, and ofcourse the belt will help define your waist too. 

Kelly Brook shows the perfect example of a fit and flare coat in the image above. Look also to Kimberley Walsh and Kim Kardashian for style inspiration and how they work the big bust and small waist look.
