have never bought regular clothes from there for myself (got maternity stuff) and need new clothes now i have had the baby. am usually a size 20. is next generously cut, or will i have to go for 22's?

THey are pretty good - I wear next size 14 jeans but would never fit into a 14 of anything else - more like a 16-18!! I loooove next jeans/cords!!

next stuff is lovely - i'm a bit confused about where they get their kids sizes from though - if i buy tops for dd a size 4 fits but not for long, and she only just 3!! The troousers a re long though - maybe she's a funny shape lol

what did you get misdee im a size 20 but the trusers dont fit me
expatinscotland · 20/03/2005 20:23
I find them very long. I'm 5ft., 4in. and have to use their petites. Otherwise, GREAT stuff!
misdee · 20/03/2005 20:25
it turns up tomorrow. will et you know if the trousers fit. tho do some lovely tops upto size 22 tho.
purpleturtle · 20/03/2005 20:31
I don't have much from Next, but the trousers I have seem fairly generous. They seem to use very tall skinny children for their kids clothes sizing (no good over washable nappies)

If you wear a size 38D bra, what shirt size do you order? According to the chart, it would be a size 18. I've never ordered anything from Boden before, but 18 seems large for me.

Even when slim, I found Next clothes a problem due to FF cup boobs.
nikcola · 21/03/2005 15:13
why do the tops go up to a size 22 but the trousers dont im going to complain its not fair
misdee · 21/03/2005 15:22
only the sports style trousers have turned up atm. they are very generous. very comfty. maybe should've ordered a smaller size.
nikcola · 21/03/2005 15:35
i was going to get some of the jogging bottoms that they do i might get them but i bet they will make my arse look like a tank!
paolosgirl · 21/03/2005 20:47
They are cut quite generously and quite long. I can get away with an 8 on top and 10 on the bottom , but at 5' 2ish", even their petite stuff is a bit long.
misdee · 21/03/2005 20:48
the tops fit lovely. am glad i went for a 22 there, as my boobs are big
nikcola · 21/03/2005 21:16
