Monsoon Dress Sizing

12 replies

deeahgwitch · 13/03/2026 12:19

Just wondering what their sizing is like.
I’m usually 16 but some brands can be tight fitting so have to go up to an 18.
Are Monsoon true to size ?
Thanks in advance

I can only speak for their older stock which I have always found true to slightly generous. Certainly not small.

Definitely size up for anything with a zip!

@deeahgwitch , I’m a size 10/12 in M&S I would buy 8/10 from Monsoon, I find their clothing very generously sized.

Can agree with the sizing up if it has a zip… have now bought a THIRD dress off Vinted to get one that does up

im a 10, I’ve had to get a 14 for the zip.

ok, I box, I have strong back/lats, but still. I’m going to have to have the hips taken in on this final dress I think.

Go to a shop and try on @deeahgwitch

Gosh! That is weird. Maybe I’m thinner than I thought then? Hope so!

They are huge. I’d size down

It could be this particular dress… I’ve never had this before with any brand I’ve used before

I've only tried a few things from Monsoon recently and they were all dresses with zips. I definitely needed to size up.

Thank you all. 💐

I was in Monsoon today & tried on some blouses. I am 5' 8" & normally a 14/16, depending on cut, with big boobs. I tried on a 14 & a large, & both were far too big for me. I would definitely size down.

I find them genuinely true to size for dresses and hopeless for trousers. It's been a while since I shopped there but it felt as if they assumed that their dresses would be purchased by hourglasses (me!) but their trousers wouldn't 😆
