Coast Curve - sizing????

[LookItsMeAgain]

I am thinking of ordering a dress from Coast from their Curve range and I need to know if they run true to size, are a little bit generous or run small to size before I go and spend the cold hard cash.

I'm wondering the same! Anyone?

I ordered this dress:
www.coastfashion.com/ie/curve-low-ponte-and-twill-dress/BCC00382.html
and it finally arrived.

Had the zip been in the centre back, it is possible that I might have been able to do it up but as it is under the arm, it made for a very awkward way to get the dress closed. The top of this dress is like a heavy jersey material and the skirt (with pockets!!!!!) is a satin/taffeta type material. The top of the dress has plenty of 'give' in it, the skirt is voluminous but unfortunately, where the skirt meets the top, there is ZERO 'give' at that seam.

I also ordered 1 size larger than I would normally wear (which in my opinion should really be enough accommodation).

Such a shame. I'm sending it back.
