TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 07/03/2014 09:12

Before I order anything (not doing it now due to having a £10 discount code,honestly....) can anyone tell me what the sizing is like?On the big side,small side or normal?

Well I like to think its "accurate" as 16 is very comfortable on me but if I'm honest I suspect it's slightly larger (hmmfff)

Dancealot · 07/03/2014 09:21

I would say normal. Bigger than top shop but smaller than m&s.

Longdistance · 07/03/2014 09:23

I'd say accurate too. I've bought some stuff from their tall collection, and it's been bang on.

True to size on size 6 and 12 DDs, nothing has had to go back in web orders.

I agree. Bigger than top shop but smaller than m and s very accurate. I am an m and s 12. In dotty ps id buy a 12 in anything stretchy and a 14 in something fitted.

Slightly smaller than next and tons bigger than oasis!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 07/03/2014 09:43

Aren't m&s really big on sizing though?

I find their own brand stuff is pretty good sizing but some of the concession stuff can be hit or miss

JemimaMuddledUp · 08/03/2014 16:43

I find dp really generous. It is the only shop where I fit into size 8 jeans!

VarsityQueen · 08/03/2014 21:21

DP is on the big side

MirandaWest · 08/03/2014 21:23

I've got dresses from there recently which are size 6 and fit me fine. I think I'm a size 8 to 10 and am in other shops generally.

really1234 · 08/03/2014 21:25

Yes I'd say they are on the generous side sadly. I recently got two size 16 dresses and I am an 18 in most things.

PeazlyPops · 08/03/2014 21:47

I'd say that they are generous, I always have to size down.

Walnut8 · 08/03/2014 22:20

Generally on the big side (especially jeans and trousers) but I have bought a few tops recently that have been true to size.

Tanfastic · 08/03/2014 22:23

I'd say they are pretty bang on. I'm a size 12 and dp size 12 nearly always fits perfect.
