How do Mango come up?

[Dancergirl]

Thanks to the thread below about no jeans, I've seen a rather nice shirt dress by Mango I fancy.

Do they come up big or small? Slightly worried that 4 is their smallest size and I am at the upper end (12). The dress looks very short, I've got good legs but can I get away with it at 40??

They fit small - a size 12 is a large in mango and the arms/legs are always a slim fit.

HTH

So should I get a 14 in a dress? I've got a bust and often find dresses gape.

Miniscule!

Teeny tiny

Oh dear you mean I won't even get into a 14??

I wear a 12/14 and there was a dress last year that I really wanted in Mango but they only had a size 10 and the assistant was pushing me to try it on - I just laughed! I did manage to get the dress on ASOS in a 14 and I love it, it's actually my favourite dress at the moment.

I would say that they are definitely on the smaller side.

put it this way - I would probably get the 14 but keep the receipt!!!

I don't think they're ridiculously small. I'm a 12 and usually buy their L which fits ok. Shirt dresses can be a bit tight though so probably best to size up.

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking the fact that a size 12 is considered L is

it is in pretty much all of the spanish brands...zara is the same...

we brits are just bigger apparently

I would say that Mango and Zara sizing is probably very accurate and true to size, but because we're now so used to vanity sizing, we think they're very small.

But in any case, their size 10, say, will be a lot smaller than other high street brands' size 10.

Gah.... 14 is too big!! Have ordered a 12.
