I find skirts generous. I haven't bought any of the smaller sizes but before I lost weight I'd be buying 16 or 18 from Joe Brown, but 18 or 20 everywhere else. It's one of the reasons I like them :)

Don't know about tops, I've only bought 1 and it was too small... I think I was expecting that though, it was an optimistic sale purchase :o

The have size guides on their website for each item that gives you actual physical measurements in inches of all the items. Very handy. I can find out if a skirt that fits me round the waist will be knee length or ankle length on my not so tall body :)

I have some Joe Browns stuff. I'd say the sizing is fair tbh. Never had anything not fit.

What are you buying

I LOVE Joe Browns.

aaaaahhhhhh, they provide no FREE returns service. This is no good for me. I'm 6' and need to try stuff on. It will cost me a fortune to return stuff if needed. oh what to do!!

Are there any stores that sell their stuff, like Debenhams, House of Fraser etc?

The trouble with Joe Browns is that I could happily buy most of it.

They don't have stock in shops according to their website.

I love Joe Browns but haven't ever ordered as I'm blessed/cursed with big boobs. A G cup :( I think they'll not fit so don't try.

Found that AMAZON sell their stuff. What is the Amazon policy for returns, do we know?

bleedin nora!, have bought from joe browns in the past, but what has happened to their prices?, everything's at least a tenner more expensive than it used to be.

Yes, they are not the cheapest, at all. Concerning their Returns Policy they claim they do not offer this service, but pass the savings onto the customer by keeping prices down.

Do remember, cotton prices have rocketed this past year... all clothing has gone up Sad

Kaleidoscope do joe brown. And they accept free returns.
I found the make is on the larger side. I ordered a size 10 and it looks like a 12 or possibly 14.
I ordered a size 5 boot and had to send them back too big.

I find their tops pretty generous but the coats run quite small in the boobage area.
