Related to bra threads - Pepperberry clothes by Bravissimo

[sparkle12mar08]

Has anyone ever tried any of their clothes? Do you know if they run true to size or a bit small, after accounting for the bust size?

I find all of their stuff absolutely huge everywhere except around my bust. I'm a petite size 8. Everything is massive around the waist and hips and really long in the body and legs. The only clothes I keep from Pepperberry is the vests with integral bra.

I find them inconsistent! Had a shirt in the past which was a 14 something (can't remember if it was really curvy or super curvy) and it was really tight. Not so much tight round the middle, as round the arms, and my arms would be quite slim.

Also have had a different shirt in the past which I thought was generous all over.

Have ordered two dresses in the past as well. One of them I kept, although it was roomy, the other was just enormous.

Their built in support PJs are the business though.

I find them large. The quality is very good, I've got a top (from when bravissimo sold them) which is almost 10 years old which I wear almost weekly!

I'm too tall for most Pepperberry clothes (5ft 8) but I read on the online reviews to check how they come up length wise before I buy anything.

Thanks ladies. For some reason I'd assumed that they would run small, but it seems not. I've also had a poke around their website and they say they've recently adjusted sizes after having feedback that they were running up to a size large. Current season apparently reflects average high street sizing much better. Being short and lets face it, slightly dumpy, I think I'll order both 12's and 14's and see what fits.
