If you wear Monsoon clothes and are a size 14....

.... please would you let me know if you buy M or L? Size guide says 12-14 is M, and L is 16- 18 but when brands have combined sizes like this I find they are often more like a 12 and snug. I could order multiple sizes a but that guarantees I'll have to go through the returns process.
Thank you

L

Thanks @WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld. I realise i didn't finish the sentence above .... 'with combined sizes I often find the 12-14 too snug but 16-18 too large'

So you don't find the L too big?

I would choose M in Monsoon. Their clothes are generally quite generous sizing.

I’m an 18 and have L’s from Monsoon and the feel comfortable to loose.

I would say though that their returns process is pretty straightforward so you could order both if you can afford to and return the one you don’t want.

Thank you all.

Sorry for my abrupt post I did mean to add moreGrin
I find monsoon varies according to style. The loose dresses are very loose but for a more fitted style I usually buy L

WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld · 11/09/2021 14:17

Sizing like that annoys me. I would go 14-16 given a choice but it doesn't exist

Size 14 in most dresses occasionally 12, but l have a fair amount up front to accommodate (36F). Medium usually works for me, l have one Monsoon dress in Large and even one in Small, which l certainly am not. That said, l don’t do baggy!

I shop at Monsoon all the time and I’d definitely go for a M. As a PP said, sizing there is really quite generous.

As above, I’m a 14 and wear a M. Tried the L and too big
