H&M - Arrrggghh!!!

Ordered a load of new clothes. Mix of summer stuff and work stuff. I didn't want to spend lots as I'm currently losing weight.

Ordered on Sunday and stuff came today (fastest ever for h&m). And it's a bit of a mixed bag.

Got some nice grey work trousers and a work dress in an 18 that fit lovely.

But also ordered 2 pairs of shorts from their plus size range. Got a size 20 and one of then won't even come per my arse!!

Why is there plus size range far smaller than the normal one?

But I'm only sending 5 items out of 14 back so swings and roundabouts really!

Oh cone on. I ordered trousers on 24 may and they came in July. You're showing off!!

It's not!
The sizing for their bottoms in particular is terrible.
I am in between an 8 and a 10 and in some of their styles would.need a 14. I also ordered a 10 in some jeans online and couldnt even get them up past my knees.

was only kidding

the idea they will ever deliver fast is pure fantasy! Grin

I was incredibly surprised at how fast they came.

But the sizing was a joke!

I am getting old I think. Left H and M in strop yesterday due to stupid sizing system. Bloody xs, s etc...
What's wrong with 8, 10, 12 etc?
Got confused, hot and found staff unhelpful and left.

I am a size 12 and bought a couple of pairs of slim leg trousers in a 16 recently.

There is no consistency in their sizing at all - some mediums fit well, some are huge. And I don't know why they do 8-10-12-14 etc in some styles and small, medium, large in others. It's so annoying!!

And I wish the length on their dresses was just a bit longer - or maybe I'm too old to be shopping there now...

I felt BHS, Primark and Tesco beckoning after H&M.
Clearly old [and poor]...
