Bloody hell- Vinted still wasn't sorted it's sizing out. I stopped using it a few months ago as it was impossible to find things- just been on and it's still terrible. How have they not sorted this out?
Searching for L 14/16 Hobbs dresses but photos of labels are 12. Xl search18/20 has dresses with photos of size 14.
I'm shocked it's gone on this long. What a mess!

It affects new listings too because the categories now span two sizes.

When I want to look for a size 14 I can’t do so anymore. I have to wade through both 14s and 16s.

It is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen from a business.

Has anybody actually sold anything to the US??? This being the reasoning behind the change.

But now it is at least accurate.

Eg they used to categorise a size 12 as a Large which it isn’t. So anyone posting a size 12 item didn’t know whether to categorise as 12 which would show as Large, or put it in Medium where it would look like a 10. Everybody did it differently which meant you had to search both categories every time.

Much better that Large is now 16-18 which is what the majority of shops say it is, so sellers know where to put things and buyers know where to search.

HOWEVER. It only works if sellers put the actual size 16, or 18, somewhere in their description (and ideally the title too). Drives me absolutely nuts when they don’t.
