North Face Arctic parka - size help needed

[northerngoldilocks]

If anyone has one of these could you let me know how the sizing is pls? I'm 5' 8'' and a size 12-14, more towards the 12 end although have reasonably big boobs (am bf) and sometimes find that 12s can be too tight across the shoulders. Wondering whether to buy M or L, but also want to avoid the 'sack of spuds' look in a L!! Have found it online and was hoping to avoid C London so can't try it on.

Appreciate any help - thanks

I'm a 10-12 and got the M. It's like wearing your duvet out. Not a hugely complimentary look but my God it's warm!

I would have thought medium. I'm a generous booby 18 - 20, 5'10 and have the XL. I'd say the sizing is generous.

Just realised it's now available in purple , I've got sensible brown. Bought from Taunton Leisure online, they were v. quick to deliver and price was reasonable (compared to others).

Ditto Celia.

I've got the XL and am a 16/18 - I LOVE it and don't think I'll ever need another big winter coat! I shopped around last year & got a good deal at some random website - my DH got one too & we do look ridiculous out together!

I've just bought a jacket for my husband and their sizing is quite generous. We got ours from the outdoor kit website as it was about 20% cheaper than TNF website

Thanks everyone- think I'll chance the medium then

I am size 8-10 and have the small. I think sizing is generous. I really don't like it much, but it is warm.

Don't agree that sizing is that generous.

Tried this on last week, I'm 5' 6" size 10, the small was definitely tight on me so I would have gone for the medium which would have been a bit roomy but OK.

Didn't buy it, bit too much ££££.

Love my north face parka - so warm and worth the money not to be freezing cold standing in the school play yard. Think you should try the medium.

Have ordered the M but from an online retailer with free exchanges - figured I'd cover my bases!

Size 12 is M, size 14 is L, I have tried on their longer coats I'm a 12-14 too although these days I am closer to 14 most of the time, it's not a coat that you want to be too tight. I would say get it in the M but just get it from a company that does free returns to be in the safe side.

Thanks everyone - got the M and it's lovely. Will be so lovely and warm and dry pushing the buggy!
