Vinted?

[Aparecium]

What size are these dresses? I want 18-20, but Vinted only allows you to filter by 16-18 or 20-22, so I filtered by size 20-22. If size 14s are listed as 20-22, how do I know what size dresses are if the label is not shown? How do I find garments that are actually my size?

What about fabric? I don't like wearing 100% synthetic, but most listings do not mention the fabric. Again, should I only look at items where the tag is shown?

I don't get how to shop on Vinted.

They recently changed the sizing, hence the size 14s being in the wrong section.
If you select 20-22 the filter by recently listed, everything recent should be in the right section- 14 and XL used to be grouped together.
You can filter by material, but only a small % will add that, but searching that as a keyword normally helps, or selecting brands you know use the fabrics you want. If it's important to you, also ask for pics of the label - some people write Silk but mean feels silky.

eBay is better to hunt things down, but more pricy.

The size is what is on the garment in the photos.

A couple of months ago Vinted changed all listings automatically to match US sizing in preparation for goods to be able to be shipped to the US, and then this was reversed recently because it caused chaos - or at least it was something like this that happened. Sellers need to update their listings to match the size on the clothing. It so many haven’t.

If you need to know the type of fabric you will need to send the seller a message.

You just need to remember, it's not a shop, it's an online car boot sale, and that is the quality of listings you should expect. But it also means you get that level of pricing

I thought they had reverted to UK sizing, but I can’t see much change.

yes OP at the moment it’s impossible.

sizes are all over the place. Some changed to the “new sizing” some did not, now it’s changed back.

So yes annoyingly look for a label. You can filter by particular brands.

key words as PP said.

I have given up on adults at the moment. Kids good but yes it’s a mess

Is there a better second hand clothing website (ie one that makes sense!)?

I generally prefer eBay to Vinted
