What is Hobbs sizing like?

I'm after a cardigan, wondering if their M is like a 12 or 14? I'm big busted but a 12 everywhere else. Will a M be ok for me?
TIA Flowers

I think it must be large, I'm mostly a size 22 everywhere else and have a size 18 Hobbs dress I can get into (it's a wrap dress but still)

Generous IME. Not sure what an M translates to though. Would you button the cardigan in any case?

Pelobates · 01/02/2020 13:01

I would say generous too - I am currently a 36F/size 16 and wear size 14 Hobbs tops (I can also get into my size 12 ones but they are a bit too tight around the middle). In the summer, when I was a size 14, I wore sz 12 in Hobbs.

@Elllllle probably only button the top one, if at all.

Thanks all - really helpful

I’m a size 12 and wear a small or medium in their tops. I’d say a medium should be fine

Generous but boxy and unflattering in my opinion!

I'm an 8-10, also big busted, and wear a Hobbs S. I find them fairly true to size. I would say their S is around a 10, so you will probably be OK with M unless it's a particularly cropped/fitted style in which. case you might need to size up for boobs (if I were buying a bolero style for example I'd get an M rather than S).

I find them too small height-wise. I'm 5'8" and never find waists in the right place. But that won't matter for a cardigan, will it!?

Thank you all!
It's a preppy style of cardi so I think it will be fine Grin
