Biba sizing anyone???

[Lizzy1980]

Hi there. Was hoping someone would be able to give me some advice regarding Biba and their sizing. I’ve seen a lovely coat on eBay. Not the style I usually go for but there’s something about it that I really like. I’ve read conflicting information online about their sizing so I was hoping someone on here could advise me. The coat is a size 10 and the style is not fitted. I’m 10/12 with a fairly large bust. I’m trying to lose a bit of weight at the moment, just so I can get back into some of my size 10 clothes. I’m not in a position to buy a new wardrobe so I’m determined to get back into my old clothes. Does anyone have any experience with Biba? Would you say their clothes run small? If you say the coat would be a small 10 then I’ve got no chance of getting into it, even after losing a bit of weight. Thank you in advance for any advice

I’ll try to post some pictures. I know it will not be to everyone’s taste (my style has been described as a young Pat Butcher in the past lol) I’m really just after some information about sizing. As the style is not fitted I’m hoping there’s a chance it might fit. I really like it

I used to work at House of Fraser and specifically the Biba section, if it's from the more recent stock (that is, not from the 60's/80's) they tend to come up quite large and I think you'd be fine! I used to fit into a 8 when I was a 10 easily.

Thank you so much for the advice. I’ll go for it 😃
