have seen a couple of dresses that look quite nice in the latest joe browns catalogue, but what's the sizing like, does anyone know?

i'm a 5ft 2" shorty and a size 12 normally

thanks

I've just bought a skirt and top, and found their sizes very generous, which is god when you are curvy like me!!

I like their look, very laid back but pretty.
Good luck, update this thread if you get some clothes

hmm, think if i go for a dress, a 10 might be worth trying, i've got plenty of norkage (34d) but really narrow shoulders.

have never ordered from joe browns yet but their stuff looks quite like fat face/white stuff but much cheaper

i like this but its discontinued in a 10, so would have to go for a 12, i think this one is my favorite

but and also this in flame

and this jacket too

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
