Oh God, have seen most beautiful dress EVER but it won't fit me :(

Look, isn't it gorgeous?

I am so sulky, I absolutely adore it, it's my bestest bestest colour anmd that neckline shape really suits me too but I'd never get into it :( I could maybe just about squeeeeeeze into size 18 clothes but Coast sizes are much smaller than they should be and I reckon their 18 is more like a 14. Why don't they do 20s, or make their clothes sizes more normal?! NO FAIR Not that I could afford it anyway, so I suppose it's just as well.

I find Coast tops are small but trousers are massive - so back when I was slim I needed a 12 top despite being an 8-10 on top elsewhere, but could get into a size 8 Coast trousers.

I think their fitted dresses are quite true to size though, have never had a problem buying my usual size of those...

Agree that you need to just try it on. It is really really nice and I want it too now.

I have always found Coast to be either true to size or if anything, a tad generous.

Lovely colour, but very unforgiving style and fabric unless v v slim.
