Can you return items bought on Vinted ?

Bought a smock style cord dress via Vinted. Normally a size 12 although have slightly large boobs. Saying that, I’ve never had to size up because of them.
Tried it on and I can barely fasten the buttons. Looking at the dress laid flat it actually looks like a 10. Can I return it or just accept it’s part and parcel of the risk of buying off Vinted..it was only £10 so not a huge financial outlay. The brand is White Stuff, not bought from them before so unsure on sizing.

Unfortunately not. You can only return if it arrives and is different to how it was listed. Even then you have to raise the query immediately.

I don’t think so, not when it’s just that it doesn’t fit. If it arrived damaged in some way then Vinted usually just refunds you and you don’t even have to return usually. When it doesn’t fit I think your best bet is reselling it.

You can only return if it's not as described or damaged. If it was clearly listed as size 12 and is in the condition it said on the listing then no, you can't return it.

I'd just relist for the price you paid as a size 10 and put in the description that although label says 12, it comes up small. Then you're only out of pocket by the postage amount

You can if the seller agrees.

You could ask the seller if they would accept a return but I wouldn't expect them to and they aren't obliged to at all in these circumstances (eg, not faulty and the item is as described).

I'd resell it or donate it to charity and ask for measurements next time before buying/only buy where you know the measurements.

Just re-list it and describe as a small 12 and not suitable for bigger boobs. It's not worth the hassle and you have to pay the postage for return. I buy and sell a lot on Vinted, it's so cheap that if something is unsuitable then I just sell it on.
