Hi,
I really love Monsoon linen trousers, and have bought them for years.
Now though, their sizing is so ridiculous, I had to get 2 sizes smaller. I am usually 12, and ended up getting size 8.
Size 8 is their smallest size, so an awful lot of people wouldn't even be able to buy their trousers. I am 5'2" and weight 10 stone, so far from slim.
My body shape is inverted triangle/hourglass, so admittedly, my hips / waist / bum aren't large, but even so.
They must be getting loads of returns because of their sizing.
