La Redoute - sizing help

[eveningprimrose]

Have not bought myself anything from La Redoute for years. This season there are a few things I want to order. To my dismay a lot of their tops come in 12-14 or 16-18. Why on earth no 14-16?!!

I wear size 14 on top most of the time but I have a few 16s as well. Got big norks so sometimes a 14 strains over them - though I have to say when I do go for a 16 it is often a little big at sleeves shoulders etc.

Anyone ordered from them recently or know anything about their sizing? With some firms I would order and try both but I recalll their returns system was a bit of a nuisance.

i ordered 16-18 and they're slightly on the big size but i prefer that. didn't want to chance the 12-14 but am 14/16 on top
