..........I'm wondering how the size matches up to Next/Dorothy Perkins items?

TIA

IMO they're a little more on the "comfortable" side than Next/DP.

If the item looks like it may be slightly fitted I would order my normal size.

If it looks like it has a bit of "give" I would order a size down....which is great pyschologically!

i have always found the sizes vary hugely. Im a 24 in new look and next but found i needed to order nearer a 28/30 from simply be (same as when i shop in evans.....sometimes a 32 in trousers is fitted!)
I now only shop at YOURS.CO.UK and am back in my 24s and sometimes 22s!

They do vary - I think because they sell other brands than their own? I generally buy jeans from them and they've gone from too small to do up to so large that they can come off without undoing them first... (all size 20/long)

Sometimes their proportions are really odd too; like they imagine all their customers are really really short and really wide. I like (some!) of their clothes but you do have to be prepared to send stuff back.

I have bought stuff but hardly wore any of it as the quality and size where rubbish. I got a pair of mat trousers that I couldnt wear as they constantly fell down as the elastic was not stretchy!
