Gone are the days when I can order online in my size and it arrive and fits.
So today I went to the shops to buy a new trench/mac.
I was in gap.
Tried on two of their trench coats (currently 40%off of £59), the medium swamped me. Was huge. The small was still a bit big.
I am a size 12 on top 14 below with 30-31' waist.
So I then carry on looking at other things as they have some good discounts at the moment and spot a pair of shorts.
I pick up a 14 and could hardly do them up.
Well actually, I couldn't get them done up.
So if a 14 doesn't fit there, what on earth would a person smaller than me do if they wanted a trench, they would be huge!
I am a big gutted as the trench was a bargain (although not at all suiting me, it was also far too long)
I then went to superdry, which I never do and found an amazing trench, with a good, with gorgeous lining and excellent quality and detailing which fitted perfectly.
Not only that the sales man was exceptionally helpful and quick to get me multiple different sizes and colours to try on and then told me honestly what he thought and which one fitted the best,
I love it. But it was much more money than I really should have spent.
It was a nessecary though and will last a long time (so long as I don't put on lots of weight).
And finally I have disposed of my old ugly, shiny, ill fitting trench from new look.
