WTF is up with them? I love their £20 for 5 cotton knickers, they're great. Rest of their stuff looks equally lovely and fab quality but their bras seem to come in about 3 sizes (okay, maybe 9): 32, 34 A, B, C and D in some sizes. When are they going to wake up to proper bra sizing?

No idea! I love the knickers (comfy and don't fall down/ride up) and the "campus pants" are so soft but bras... Angry

They're awful, and their measuring system is bonkers - I'm sure it's them that measures above the boobs!

ABOVE the boobs? Really? I got "measured" there a couple of years ago because I really really wanted their bras to fit. To be fair, their staff are lovely and must be treated well to be so happy and enthusiastic but when I said I wear a 30E they looked askance at me and went, "Well, you are VERY SLIM..." (am a size 10).

They do nothing in a 30 back, limited styles in a 32 and nothing over a DD. Such a shame because really, I'd love to wear their stuff, it's all gorgeous, good quality, affordable...

Bonkers indeed.

Incidentally, Statistically, I had a really good fitting experience the other day at Agent Prov of all places. Ended up in a 34DD that, while I wouldn't run a marathon in it, fits well, and the staff understood sizing and fitted me by eye, correctly. They do an E cup in some styles but not many, and back sizes come up vv small. So for those who are not huge of nork and want well fitting lingerie lingerie (as opposed to just bras), it's a good splash-out option.

That is a shame. I'm a standard size and I've been wearing their bras for years as I find them really comfy and they wash so well as they're really durable.

I do find the UK prices a bit high compared to the US ones. Seems like the same in pounds as it is in dollars.

The fittings never work for me though. They always tell me I'm a B and give me a stack of bras I literally can't even get my nipples in.
