sizing - isabella oliver

big or small?
is it one of those brands that already allows for non-bump preggers podge, or one of those where you might have to go up a size?

i bet it's small, isn't it

Trying to find The Dress that will do 2 weddings and a work do - fingers crossed no funerals this time

I don't know about the preg stuff but I bought some of their 365 range in my normal size and it was massive. I had to send it back.

yes 365 stuff is a size larger I found

I had a lovely dress in a 5 (16-18) but I am more like an 18-20.

I think the size 5 is pretty true for its advertised 16-18, and my SIL is a normal size 12 and in IO size 3, so I'd say that the pregnancy stuff is reasonably accurately sized.

(I'm a pretty true 16 and find size 5 has some extra room but not ridiculously so, IYSWIM. I have one size 4 top that I can wear but it is fairly snug)

yy pg stuff is generally about right (although I found tops were quite broad across the shoulders). 365 is generous.

I'm generally about size 10 but probably at the upper end of size 10 in pregnancy. Isabella Oliver size 2 fits me nicely. I certainly don't think their sizing is small.

The 365 stuff is very generous with size, not sure about the maternity stuff
