Olive Clothing sizing

I saw this company recommended on another thread and really like the look of their tops. Has anyone bought from them ? Many tops seem to be one size and so it's hard to imagine how big/small they might be. I'm a 12/14 with big boobs and want a relaxed but not very baggy fit. Anyone out there who buys from them? Thanks

Hi OP, I’m watching with interest as I flirted with the idea of buying some bits from there a few months back but I got cold feet when I looked at the size and fit of each item which seemed to indicate size 12 was the top end of their fit range. Not much seemed to be suitable for size 14. It looks like lots of their tops are one size so I wasn’t feeling hopeful as a busty size 12!

I’m a standard ten on top and their one size tops are generally pretty fitted on me. Having said that, I haven’t ordered anything super oversized from them but I’d be surprised if they’d look right on a booby 12/14.

Sorry OP, not what you were hoping to hear 😬

Chelseacat. That’s really helpful. Not what I wanted to hear but will save me yet another trip to the post office to return something. Such a shame because I love so much on the site. Mrschocolate. It doesn’t sound as if we are their target customers.

I'm a 10 and have two jumpers from there that are S/M and they're a nice fit. But I bought some trousers in M thinking they would be fine (surely there's no world where a size 10 is the absolute largest a place caters for???) - and they were horribly tight. I get that they do small production runs but it's so annoying that they categorize anyone above 10 as probably too big to fit anything well. I don't want to get excited looking forward to a dress arriving and then have to experience the horrid realisation it won't go on!

The one-size tops (eg Sophie stripe) are generally pretty generous though.

I like their stuff, but won’t buy from there due to the sizing issues.

If I’m paying those prices l want something that fits me not something that is ‘free size’. This is what really cheap companies do to maximise profit.

I’ve had awful experiences of buying from there - the sizing is all over the place. I also find the materials quite scratchy and uncomfortable. Won’t be buying again and it’s a shame as it looks decent on models
