Phase Eight and Whistles sizing?

[wickedfairy]

How do you find the above please? I am a sz12 usually (currently very pregnant) and am looking at getting a few bits in for after the baby is born.

The only thing I have from Whistles at present is a cape, so that isn;t really a very good indicator of size, as it is very voluminous!

Thanks

I don't know about phase 8 but whistles sizing is generous - in fact I'd say their stuff is cut bigger than it was last year especially on the shoulders.

Short and square I think.

Phase 8 tops tend to be generous.

It's hard to say with whistles really - it depends on the style of the dress. I'm a 12 but 2 dresses I have from whistles are a 10 and there is still room for comfort. Tried on another style of dress in a 12 and that was a bit tight - would've needed a 14. I find the tops relatively true to size though.

I find Phase Eight pretty much spot on, maybe a little generous. I am a 16, and I buy a 16.

Phase 8 is generous, im normally a 12, sometimes a 10 but in Phase 8 I can fit a size 8 ( and I am no size 8 by any stretch of the imagination!)

Thanks everyone.

Have bought a jumper dress from phase eight in a 12, so will see how it fits. The "relaxed" look will be ok, as want it casual and will be wearing it after the birth of DC3 (more like a long, slouchy jumper - that's the plan anyway!), so I will be bigger than normal anyway, I'd suspect!!
