Shein sizing for those who are a 10-12?

I'm a 10-12, mostly a 12, and 5ft 3. I want to order a few bits on Shein and I really don't know whether to go for the M (10) or L (12-14), it seems that one would be too small and the other too big. Does anyone of a similar size have any experience of ordering from there?

Hi OP, not sure how much I can help as I'm currently pregnant but I ordered some maternity items from Shein last month, first time ordering. I am ordinarily a size 10-12 with 34d bra, I ordered a mixture of large and medium, mainly for comfort and obviously it's maternity but in all honesty if you've got any sort of boobs you'll struggle, just my experience.

Perhaps the standard clothes are different but the maternity ones are very small on top.

You sound like me. I also deliberated but as I was buying mainly maxi dresses I found the 10 fine. I wouldn't dare buy trousers there tho!

I’m a 10, occasionally a 12 and always get a M. Each item has its own measurements too so definitely look at those!

You need to look at the reviews on each individual product because their sizing isn't universal & can differ.
I'd say mostly if you're a 10-12 M would be fine but do check reviews in case something is running small,people often give their stats for comparison.

Check reviews, they are helpful. I'm same height as you and a large 10, M mostly fits me but I did have to size up to L for swimwear.

Agree to check sizing on individual items (measure something else you own and like for comparison)
Also lots of reviews with pictures give the person's measurements.
I've had trousers and tops and am very impressed with sizing charts and comments on reviews as a method of choosing

I also have easily returned

Just to add to the "check the reviews"

You'll also be fine for trousers unless your leg length is stupid compared to your overall size.

I'm 5ft6 but with longass legs, so most trousers sit on my ankle, my friend who's 5ft 6 but normal leg length they're fine on for example.

Also, boobs...not had a problem. 32E and teeshirts and dresses have always fit fine.

Just check reviews.
Returns are easy peasy too.

If you click on the size it should give the measurements, im a big girl and check these for every item, not failed me yet.
