oh lord, please SOMEONE say that H&M jackets are made for tiny tiny folk

[NoelleHawthorne]

I couldnt get a 16 over my bust today

H&m sizing is just weird! I have two cord skirts, they are exactly the same except for colour, yet one is slightly loose and the other too tight.

I am a 10/12 on bottom half and tried a pair of cord trousers as well, even a size 16 was too tight on my knees, couldn't pull them up. Seriously I don't have fat knees.

Im a 16 and I bought some jackets in a 20 and they were too small. Just had to send back jeans as the 18/20 were too small.
Sad:

Does wonders for your self esteem.

Thankfully the Oasis Cherry's which arrived in a 16, are on the big side so the equilibruim to my sanity has returned.

H&m sizing is designed to sent you crazy. I don't have the emotional strength to shop there for me anymore.

Their children's sizing is spot on though.

I tried on maternity trousers once. Size 18. Couldn't get them past my knees. I am normally about a size 12, and my legs are stick thin.

the sizes 12 to 16 wouldn't go past my ankles

oh god thankyou for this thread, i am not alone.

Oh no just ordered 3 coats online from H & M while they had their 50% off. I don't think any will be big enough judging by this thread. I have sized up but not by 3 sizes...

i am a bust 12/14 I am rarely a 16

I found an 18 too tight

I bought large maternity jeans and can't get them over my knees. I'm a size 12 (usually!!) Their sizes are teeny tiny
