I mean I'm normally a 12 but I couldn't get my little toe in some of their size 12's, whereas other size 12's they sell fit fine, hmph!

Oasis don't do size 12's?! Do you think maybe she mis heard you?

Topshop used to be the correct sizes, i.e a size 10 was a 28 inch waist etc. It seems in the last 2 years they have been making their sizes smaller, money saving perhaps?

Top Shops size 12 skinnies are the most perfect fit on me.

I'm mid forties.

Topshop have always been a nightmare. I am a size 8 but their jeans/trousers are always too long!

i love topshops clothes but going in there makes me feel a)old and b)depressed. and if i have the dc with me i REALLY feel i shouldn't be in there, my boring old self and my kids and pushchair getting in the way of these trendy, thin beautiful youngsters. :(

god, even saying "youngsters" makes me sound old!

I don't remember topshop being cool when i was a teen (i'm 30 now) it was always a bit middle of the road

The problem with trendy shops when you're past 30 is thet're all so damn pricey - thinking of Reiss etc - the cheaper ones are a bit dowdy (BHS) i get a lot of stuff from H&M.....

I hate topshop it always depresses me. Its for people with the figure of a young boy and i am only 20. Size 6 in next though VERY kind with there sizes i think!

I like Topshop jeans. I get into their size 8 and I definitely do not have the figure of a young boy. I think they are pretty true to size, which is better for me than the shops which have vanity sized us smaller people out of their market.

i am size 8 in topshop. that doesn't mean their jeans look good on me - oh no! they make me look so weird shaped :( probably coz my figure isnt straight up and down and flab free :(

Agree that topshop sizes are straight up and down. I was going to buy some stuff online from there, so checked out their sizing chart before I ordered. Turns out my waist is just between size 6/8 but my hips would only just squeeze into a 12! No jeans from there for me then Grin

Dorothy Perkins had some nice jeans that fit me, in the size I expected. Don't normally shop there as for some reason I had a weird prejudice that their clothes wouldn't last, but I have been wearing/washing them all the time and they haven't lost their shape.
