I need help from those who shop at Oliver Bonas

[Dressbuying]

I’m buying a dress online - I’ve never bought from them before. Not sure what size to get.

I’m usually a size 12 on top, and a 12/14 bottom, depending on the shop and style.

Bust- 92cm / 36inch
waist- 82cm / 32 inch
Hip- 103cm / 40.5inch

I attach Oliver Bonas size guide… I don’t know if I should go for a size 10 or 12? The bust may be too baggy on a 12, but waist may be too tight on a 10?

How do you find their sizes run and what would you suggest I try (it’s too expensive for me to buy both to try on in one go)

Buy a 12

Thanks foreheadwoes.

Any other thoughts from anyone? I do worry that an extra 5 inches on top will be gapey. Wondering is magic knickers would be enough to help the waist fit better?

(oops 5cm, not inches!)

I find their sizing is a bit inconsistent but usually comes up a bit big, so I’d go down a size. I’m five foot 1 though, so that may just be a height thing iykwim
