Hi does anyone know how Kaliko sizing comes up? Have seen a dress I like. Cheers!

I am generally a 12 round the shoulders, and their 12s fit me perfectly. I've only bought dresses without a defined waist, and a coat, so I don't know how their bottom halves fit.

I bought a jersey jacket and it came up a size bigger than the label.

Generous, I'd say.

I agree, if you are between sizes Go down

Huge - at least 2 sizes bigger than M&S, I'd say.

They are generally quite big. I always go down a size.

I'm a 10/12 depending on the brand but definitely a 10 in kaliko.

Not designer sizes, I have a couple of size 16 structured things (boned evening top and skirt and a dress for a wedding). Both fit perfectly and I have big hips and a large arse. (Smallish boobs).

I guess M&S type size.

Not huge Remus, I comfortably get into some 14 tops, but cut for adult women, not beanpoles.

I guess my dress is long, but I don't want the world seeing my knees.

I'm a 12 but even size 8 tops often too big for me in there. Not tried any of the structured dresses though.

Out of my budget for everyday stuff.
A lot of brands aiming at older women's casual tops are huge. Seasalt I'm looking at you.
