Ted Baker sizing? Big? Small?

[NotanOtter]

Am about to order a fitted dress online and would like to only order one size - does anyone have any experience of their dress sizes?

tia

I would say that the fit is inconsisitent as between the items that they sell. I am the smallest size in their skirts and tops but find the smallest size in the fitted dresses squashes my boobs flat even though they fit fine everywhere else. The next size up fits my chest but looks too baggy everywhere else. Sorry not much help!

halftermhero do you have a fabulous bust maybe that's the issue!!

I would say it is slightly on the large size.
But then I do not have a fabulous bust!

I do have an erm ... "fabulous" bust and find the sizing is slightly large but fits said bust perfectly.

ok that's really helpful actually - you both seem to be saying the same thing!

and the busts!

Confusingly, my chestage is fair to middling! I have no idea what the fuck is going on then in light of the other replies to the thread

lovely pic Mrsjuan!

I would say it is slightly on the large size but not particularly generous on the bust although mine is rather fabulous

gawd look at you lot - i am currently in a 30dd bra which sounds big but is tiny!

large side I mean
Just had a panic that you'd somehow seen a picture of my bust

Halftemhero is there an emotion for that??

oh dear- I read this as tom baker... conjured up all sorts of odd images!

rude I presume [wank]

sorry

I have lots of experience with Ted Baker.

If you have a more than modest bust size then please dont touch their dresses. Their fits are bloody awful. Or, at least size up.

Their, tops however are, massive!!

Ive never worked it out.

If the dresses are unfitted then they fit better than the fitted.

Hope this helps.

Thank God, for you, Kitta. That backs up my experience!

Yep, I find that their clothes are rather miserly if you have a chest. There have been quite a few times when I've seen something lovely, but one size is too small on the bust and the next size up is too big everywhere else.

Hmmm. I wear a 'b' cup. I am starting to wonder if I am in the wrong size bra as not been measured for about 7 years and have had children in that time.......

gosh, shame on you woman!! you should get measured yearly.

I dont know who designs for Ted Baker but, I would like to have a word with him.

I am told! Will get measured shortly, lol.

Oh no am worried now
The dress is on ASOS ( too embarrassed to link to it) but on the little catwalk 'clip' they do ( very helpful btw) it was HANGING off the model on the hips although she was a RAKE.

have ordered 8 1nd 10 and already wishing i had ordered 10 and 12 eeeek

has it arrived yet?

Thanks kittya and hmmmm

it is very fitted - I am 9 stone 5 and 5 foot 7.5 ( to e precise) the 8 was tight but moreover short and looked awful - 10 much better fir but a it loose on the hips making me look more ample of the hip than i am ( NOT a good look) dd assures me you can tell it is fabric not hip so i am sticking with the ten

In answer to my own question I would say about right!
