Sweaty Betty clothes - sizing?

23 replies

KStockHERO · 14/03/2022 10:45

I'm about to order some new, much-needed gym clothes from Sweaty Betty. I always find myself different sizes in different shops, and I've never ordered SB stuff before.

So, are their sizes accurate? Or would you recommend one size up, or down? Does their stuff some tight-fitting or looser?

I find so many shops have changed their sizing recently that I'm not really sure what size I am anymore. I'd say I'm an 8, maybe nudging a 10 in some places. But I've recently bought clothes ranging from a size 4 (what?!) to size 12. So I have confusion, epic confusion.

I’m at 8-10 and I take an XS in Sweaty Betty.

KStockHERO · 14/03/2022 11:21

Oh, that's really good to know. Thank you! Anyone else?

I'm a 14 and found SB size L to be a perfect fit, so I'd agree that you'd be looking at XS for a size 8.

I mostly buy the Gary yoga pants and never really thought about the fit, but wouldn't say they're either too tight or loose. Everything seems to be super stretchy!

KStockHERO · 14/03/2022 11:29

I'll try for XS then.

I'm mainly after new tops but the idea of yoga pants called 'Gary' does make me laugh Grin

Same. I entered my measurements into the site and was told to get XS. I was convinced they'd be too small but they've very stretchy.
MoonbeamSprinkles · 14/03/2022 13:52

I find that they seem like they’re going to be too small when you first get them and then they sort or mould to your shape.

KStockHERO · 14/03/2022 14:28

Thank you ladies! I've ordered a few XS tops so let's see how that goes.

I was tempted for a Gary jumpsuit but only the black one was in the sale and the other colours are quite expensive. But I'm still hovering, I might go back on and order it yet Blush

They're really stretchy and amazing and if I could afford it, I'd buy ALL their stuff 😍

Literally adore my SB jumpsuits. I debated getting one for ages because they are pricy.. now I have two! They are amazing for summer, workouts and holidays. Literally live in it over the summer.

I have the Gary in black.. and another design which is thinner material and spaghetti straps in a petrol blue, but just looked and can't see that one online any more.

I'm a size 12 and wear medium

DietrichandDiMaggio · 14/03/2022 18:35

I'm 8-10 and buy small.

Tiddlywinkly · 14/03/2022 18:41

I'm 8-10 and mostly get xs, but sometimes s in the power leggings. I find the patterned ones a bit tighter for some reason.

ArabeI · 14/03/2022 18:50

I sized up to small (s) with the stamina bra as it was too constrictive. I know a couple of people who have said similar. I have another crop top style which is fine, no sizing up necessary.

Leggings and vest tops I also found true to size.

CottonSock · 14/03/2022 19:03

I found the leggings quite tight.

FrownedUpon · 14/03/2022 20:06

I’m a 10 and get S.

The leggings are quite tight fitting, but look good.

Fellrunner85 · 14/03/2022 20:30

I'm an 8-10 and get an XS in Powers and all the tops, but a S in the high shine leggings and zero gravity.

gardenhelpneeded · 14/03/2022 23:09

8-10 and a small

justsatfloating · 14/03/2022 23:37

The jumpsuits are worth it.

I'm a 10-12 and I'm comfy in my Xs leggings, jumpers I go for S, dresses XS unless they are tight styles then I'm a S

But crop tops and sports bras I go large, and almost got stuck in a crop top/bra!!

user1471548941 · 15/03/2022 08:01

I’m a 10 bottoms and get S leggings (Power or All Day).

8-10 on top and have a mix of XS/S “Athlete” tops!

DopamineDresser · 15/03/2022 08:35

Love love love SB - another one who would buy half the shop if I could afford it.

Size 8-10 and wear an S in Power leggings (7/8 length as I'm a short arse and this makes them the perfect length)

Bought an XS though once as loved the print & S not available - still fine! Reckon I'm somewhere in the middle

ExConstance · 15/03/2022 08:49

The tops seem to be smaller and the bottoms generous. DH always enjoys helping me get into my Stamina bra.

For me it's getting out of mine Grin
cozycat1 · 15/03/2022 09:31

8/10 10 on bottom I take a Small. the leggings i find are quite tight but then that is the good thing as they hold you in. 8 on top and while I haven't got a top I reckon an xs would do

Gonnagetgoing · 16/03/2022 10:55

Fairly true to size - am 12 so get medium.

I will say this though, am slightly irritated that my leggings I got are now reduced a lot in sale.

I don't get a huge amount from there but only because my H&M sport leggings etc are mostly comparable quality.
