I am looking for a black dress for a funeral soon (expected in the next couple of weeks) & am looking all about for something thats not quite a sack/hang down on me look but not party-party either. Anyway I found this one on a M&S site & wondered if any of you UK ladies can give some idea of their sizing & if this is a reasonable price for what it looks like - www.marksandspencerlondon.com/nz/cross-front-shift-midi-dress/p/P22504375.html?dwvar_P22504375_color=Y0

I usually wear a size 18 (big boobs) but my shoulders/neck sizing is about a 16 (used to sew & needed to make adjs to fit pattern for bigger bust) But when I typed into this website my (now) height/weight it said my recommended size is a 22. Ye gods!! I dont want it to swim on me, esp if I order it & need it sooner than later. Ideas much appreciated.

Our sizes might be different to yours, hence why it gave you 22? I find M&S generous personally.

thanks for your msge hippa - decided that the dress was a bit expensive & have found something locally that will do instead - in a size 18 that fits haha, so am pleased I didnt buy the recommended sizing on this site
