I am looking at a couple of Jane Norman dresses on ebay, I have noticed a couple of time people saying they come up small is this true?

At the moment I am 10/12 nearer a 12 would a 12 fit me or should i be going for a 14?

Go for the 14 ! they do come up very small.

i am an 8 most other places, but JN clothes I need a 12! so yes go for the 14.
Word of advice though - check the length measurement if it is a dress - a lot of the Jane Norman dresses look like skirts very short Grin

Its very annoying, we are about to hit summer season to so I always loose weight due to the heat so will probably be a 10 by then anyway..

It might be OK as it flares out at the bottom, it depends on where you're biggest. I find JN stuff often looks nice in pics but very cheap looking in real life. Quite poor materials etc.

Just buy it its not that expensive anyway.Smile

I have that exact dress in black!
This one is actually not too bad fit wise compared to other JN stuff, and length wise ok so basically ignore everything I said in my previous post!
If it helps, both my sisters bought the dress in black for their xmas parties - one is a very booby size 14-16 and the other a 12. Very flattering on both of them.
when size 12 sis was having a clothes clear out she gave me the size 12 one (and it fitted me quite nicely as it was so stretchy) and I wore it for an xmas party last year. its really stretchy material but quite clingy.
It has a nice shape and looks good on - the only thing that bothered me a little bit was that around the top is all elasticated - great as it stayed up all night, but the top kept rolling in on itself (sorry its really hard to describe) although I see that one has straps so you may not have that issue.
If you think you will lose weight by then, i'd go for the 12.

Very comfy though!

As everyone else has said ! Yes they come. Up small.. I'm an 8 and I've got a dress that's a 12
