Has anyone got any reviews? How is the sizing?

Have just found the site and there's a lot I like, plus on sale so thinking of getting some summer staples.

I think if you google it they have a size guide showing the measurements that correspond to their sizes. If I remember correctly their S is a UK 14 and a M is a 16 etc. They have some nice stuff and the quality is okay for the price you pay. Never bought anything from them myself but I have some friends who buy a lot

They do have a size guide online but no reviews and no 'model wears a size XL' or whatever which is always helpful. Despite the size guides it's often more helpful to have a 'runs small' comment.

I am 5'4, and tried Violeta a few years ago. I felt it was designed for much taller, more strapping people, the shoulders were too big, sleeves and dresses too long, I just felt unflatteringly swamped.
Also, too polyester and not enough cotton. And expensive for the quality.

I'm also 5 foot 4. Size 16 mostly. I've had a couple of things from there and whilst I like the styles, quality isn't brilliant (though that's true of Mango in general IMO). Sizes seem fairly accurate. Be aware that you can't send stuff back in the post, or you couldn't as of a year ago, you had to go back into the shop to do returns. As I said, I do like the styles and so would buy stuff from there again though

Ah that would be a conundrum and a half!

Thanks for that. I did notice that a couple of the tops I liked were a bit shiny looking. Not sure I liked the denim shirt enough.

Mango like Zara does the opposite of vanity sizing. I am a 12 top in the rest of the world and a heffalumping XXL in Mango and Zara or an XL. Violeta is their "plus" size range.
The quality is OK for the price.
