Joe Browns dresses

[TeacupDrama]

I was looking at catalogue sw a few dresses I liked but never bought from them before

are they ok quality wise? do they last and not stretch/ shrink in wash and do they come up big/small for size?

sorry lots of questions

I got one of their catalogues in with the paper today and thought it looked like a cross between Desigual and Per Una!

I have found that, in his plus-size collection at least, his clothes do come up a good size smaller than the label. But they always seem quite well made and reasonable quality, and I love the colours and fabrics he uses.

thanks so if you were generally a 16 would you order 18?

I think they're expensive for what they are. Some are ok but quite a lot are a bit zany imo.

I've a few JB things and always been happy, quality generally good, but sometimes a little over priced.

Yes - I would order a size larger.

I don't know, I ordered a couple of linen shift dresses in the summer and they're enormous. I wish I'd sized down. Best to order a couple of sizes if you're not sure.

I have ordered a couple of things, I think they are nice enough quality but only ever get stuff in the sale as I think they are overpriced. I also find them a bit on the large side so would size down

I've ordered lots from them. The sizing used to be on the large side, but now, I'd say it comes up small!

I love them on the whole, I have some that I've had for ages and still look good. Some designs have looked bogging so can be hit and miss but when they are good they are good.

Oh and sizing comes up large. I'm a 16 but always order 14 in dresses. No idea about trousers or skirts since I've never bought any.

I have a few. One in particular I love. You do have to be quite young and fairly skinny to carry them off though IMHO, otherwise, as PP said, they can look a bit frumpy! Size wise, it varies. Dresses can be big, I usually size down.

Thank you all very much very helpful may order a couple of sizes to see tomorrow

I've got a light blue joe browns dress with all different colored owls on. Mind sound urgh but it's lovely.
