How does Kaliko sizing come up?

[tethersend]

I've had my eye on this coat for a bit, and now JL have discounted it, I'm even more tempted...

Does anyone know whether they come up big or small?

A bit small.

I'd say about true to size, with the slightest err on the generous size - I.e I'm a 10/12 - the Kaliko 10 fits but it's not loose.

Thanks- so far so confused

I think about right, my mum has some and she's a 16 ish and wears a 16.

They've got a lovely black fur jacket I really want, so I'm hoping true to size.

That's interesting, I'm bigger and do find them small.

I am size 14 and it's true to size for me

I think it comes up absolutely huge. Even their size 8 jumpers and tops are often too big for me (I'm a 12).

I was going to say it comes up big, but I only have 1 dress that I bought a couple of years ago so maybe isn't that representative of their clothes.

Well, that was helpful

Perhaps they make some sizes bigger and some smaller..?

If you look at the size charts for Kaliko they are bigger than M&S! If you look at the thread asking about a berry coloured coat another mumsnetter has tried on the coat you linked to, but in the other colour. They said it was slightly on the large size.

This thread berry coat

Thanks Dancelot, that's really useful.

Oh dear. Maybe I'm in size denial.

Ok, I ordered my usual size (16) and it fits absolutely perfectly.

Am very happy, thanks very much
