To ask you if there's something wrong with the mirrors in Next?

[MrsWinnibago]

Please tell me they're horribly skewed or bent or something.
I've just lost a bit of weight which has taken me down from a 14-16 to a 12-14....I'm pear shaped and have always had a discrepancy between my top and bottom....so now I'm in 14 jeans and 12 tops...quite a small chest.

Anyway tried on some casual tops and jeans in Next...looked in the mirror and feck me...I looked AWFUL!

Big fat hip tyre and plumpy looking back! Double chin the lot!

Are the mirrors horrid or am I just 40?

H+M mirrors are amazing.
I always loose half a stone in there.

All mirrors are bad......

Haven't noticed this but have noticed their clothes are odd sizes. I have to buy a size smaller than anywhere else in some items, and even their shoes I go half a size down.

Grumble I know! I've spend a good while looking in those...I don't usually go in Next but saw a top I liked in there last week when I was getting DD new knickers!

I regret it now! I looked like dough! All white and plumpy.

That is why I never buy anything from next! You are right their mirrors are very unflattering.

Billy yes! I picked up a 12 top and it was ginormous! Like a 16....I tried it on in case it was down the cut...but it was just unflattering. It was baggy in the boob area and the rest had no shape.

Eminy thank you! I feel better now!

Debenhams have 'skinny mirrors' in some stores they stretch you so you look all tall and thin!

Can't remember about next but the mirrors/lighting in the Dorothy Perkins' changing rooms are bloody horrible.

I don't know about their mirrors but their sizing is bizarre.

Vanity sizing in action.

what you mean I haven't really list a whole dress size in the past 15 years and am not really a size 8 in suit jackets? How very dare you.

I think it's because you have to stand close to the mirrors myself.

Oh yes, next mirrors are the absolute worst! Makes my size 10 bum look about six sizes bigger and flabby too.

If something looks half decent in a next mirror I buy it on the reckoning that I'll look like a goddess in real life

YANBU. They are terrible. They make me look a foot shorter, 3 stone heavier and incredibly blotchy! The only reason I still go there is for the trousers.

I was in there recently trying on a few swimsuits (argggh). After watching myself, complete with rear view, struggle into those I left a very depressed (and empty handed) woman in need of a gin I can tell you! Glad to see it's not just me.

Next mirrors are soul destroying.
They highlight every bit of cellulite, every stretch mark and make you look deathly pale.
Hideous.

I actually cried when I got home from trying on clothes in Next, I looked so awful

I thought it was just the clothes that were horrible. Maybe it has been the mirrors all this time.

I've noticed the vanity sizing in next too. Everything there is a size bigger than on the label. I like the mirrors though.

I've only ever bought some long trousers online. You've all made me want to go in there now...

Sainsburys mirrors.

Went in there on Friday. Terrified myself. Really scared witless.

don't even get me started on their lift mirrors - they make me look dead.

I am SO happy it's not that I am fat and old! it's the MIRROR'S fault!
