Anyone bought from Olive clothing?

Aside from the infuriating 'one size' thing, what's the quality like? I love the look of some of it but it's a bit more expensive. Any experience?

I'll be watching this with interest. I hope someone has answers! I also love the look of some of their clothing, but it's high risk considering the size thing and unknown quality.

Bump?

Do you mean www.oliveclothing.com/? Sorry I've never come across them before but they look interesting, especially in view of the general decline in high street quality so thanks for the suggestion.

The one size does look a bit bamboozling but some of the stuff is sized S/M/L.

I also had a look at their ethical statement and I like it that (unlike a lot of the high street) they're honest about how hard it is to keep track of suppliers while staying competitive.

Yeh that's the one. The ethical aspect appeals to me too. The one size is frustrating but I'm sure they have their reasons! I'm a short size 12 so should fit a lot of the looser stuff. I might just have to take the plunge and order, and then I'll be the one to report back on quality!

Hey! Did you ever get anything? I'm tempted also...is quite ££ to take an uninformed leap though...

I bought a lovely denim dress but found the sizing very odd. The size s was described as up to a 12 and I'm an 8-10 pretty much everywhere so thought it'd be fine but it was very small. I kept it (I still had a bit of baby weight to lose so thought it might be ok) but alas even though all the baby weight has gone it's still a bit tight for sitting down!

I bought a summer top from there, it's really pretty and good quality. I'm a size 10 and the one size was a good fit.

I also bought a cute-looking summer dress which was so short it was indecent (I'm 5ft7ins). It wasn't pictured on the model and I had assumed it would cover everything it needed to. Which was a mistake!

Some of that stuff looks lovely! 💙

Thanks for the link.

@ImperfectTents As a Toast fanatic, I absolutely love that description Grin Painfully accurate!

I swear the buyers go 'would vita wear it?' And if yes they get it in and slap 90% mark up on some Portuguese fishermans smock
