joe browns?

[mellyonion]

hi. does anyone know how the sizing in joe browns comes up? i'm a size 10/12.....what size should i order from them? any idea of the quality of their stuff?
also, i love the style clothes of theirs...are there any other places that stock the same sort of clothes?
ta!

Hello, I'm also a 10/12 and really like the Joe Brown's stuff. I have so far bought a size 10 if that helps. I've bought a lovely tunic and shorts from them, also t-shirts and a great zip-up hooded top which was very good quality. The t-shirts did shrink slightly in the wash, but the other stuff was great. Happy shopping

hi, I'm a 10/12 top and 12 bottom, and I tend to go for the 12 in Joe Browns - find it slightly on the small side. You can find similar stuff at fat face or white stuff - fat face quite pricey though so good to wait for the sale! white stuff good, quite large fitting - I recently sent some trousers back to exchange for a 10. They have some really nice stuff this autumn though.

LOVE joe browns - have just ordered a load of their new autumn catalogue. I'm same size as you and normally find the 10 ok, but some things can be a little on the small size. I've got lots of skirts in 10 which were fine, but have had a few tops where 10 was bit small. Quality is very good IMO and people always ask where did you get that from ?

I've got some stuff from Joe Browns but need to send it back for a bigger size. So I would say their stuff is on the small side. But maybe its just wishful thinking, my ds is 9 months and I'm still MUCH bigger than I was pre pregnancy!

Oooh I love the look of Joe Browns but have never been able to afford any. DH and I have just decided we will order each other something from there for Christmas I thought it looked on the smallside to be honest... so will take that into consideration.

They seem to keep the same stuff in stock for quite a long time and then have gradual price reductions so unless you are really in love with a piece, can be worth waiting for bargains! Sign up for their email newsletter.

Oh, and customer service seems good - I had a package which never reached me (due to Parcelnet? We'll never know!) and they re-sent the items, no quibbling (great word, that).

Perhaps it's worth sending for one or two items in both sizes, establishing which is your best fit and returning the others - you'll probably only ever have to do it the once and you'll know for future purchases.

ime Joe Brown's sizing varies between garments. If you go online they have measurements for each item. I'm between 2 sizes and find this invaluable as I generally have to order a mixture of the 2 sizes.

many thanks for your replies....off the weild my credit card in their direction now!!
