Phase Eight dresses - how do they size up? 6 weeks to find a perfect dress and beginning to panic just a little...

Looking desperately for a dress for my sons communion which is only 6 weeks away. Have looked absolutely everywhere, and desperation is beginning to sink in a little at this stage! I posted about this here a few weeks ago and heck, I still have no dress!

Have been looking at the phase eight web site, some nice dresses. How do they size up generally, big, small??? I can be either a 10 or a 12 depending on where I buy. Any helpful advice appreciated !

They are quite true to size - as per oasis, next, m&s etc they don't come up small. I would try the 10...or order both sizes and return one?

Thanks FauxFox think thats what I will do. But good to hear they are true to size. Is the quality good?

I can be a 12 or a 14, and with them am usually a 12, as their cut suits my figure (slim waist but wide-ish hips, so it always depends on the cut. FWIW, wearing their 12 dresses, I have 38 inch bust (34c bra), 31 waist and 38 inch hips.

Their dresses are often very comfy too, I LOVE them.
