Anyone know what the sizing is like at Nobody’s Child?

[Greentick123]

Seen a couple of dresses I like. I’m a 12/14 usually. Lots of Boden dresses and tops that are 12s but shorts or trousers usually 14s.

Any other thoughts on quality? They seem to have a nice selection but difficult until you’ve actually seen stuff

Personally I think it runs a bit small in fitted styles.

I think it’s best to try on as it very much depends on the style. I have long starlight dresses and the short starlight dresses don’t fit in the same size.

Bit small

I would say they run a little small, but their oversized look items are definitely oversized, you don't need to size up.

I've only bought a skirt from there but I wish I'd got a size smaller. It's lovely quality though 100% cotton and layered.

I want to buy more but I'm a bit put off because I don't know what size to buy! I hate buying lots and returning.

I tried a 12 at the weekend, am definitely a 12, but I would've had to get a 14.

Tight.

I find the tops run small

Dresses are a little small but knitwear and coats pretty big, in my experience.

I go between 12 and 14 and I love Nobody’s Child. If it’s meant to be fitted I get a 14, if it’s meant to be loose then I get a 12 or it looks too big.

They sell their stuff in John Lewis if you want to go and try some stuff on to get your size.

I think their dresses generally run small

I’ve got some dresses with quite fitted bodices and like pps have had to size up. Am a true UK size 12 but for these styles have needed a size 14

I find it true to size initially but a lot of their stuff seems to shrink…

The dresses are snug against the hips, if you are buying a fitted dress. If in between go for the larger size.

I couldn't make the starlight dress work on me in any size. I'm tall with big boobs and it wanted my chest much higher up than possible. They do currently claim to have a new fit in that style so I'm intrigued to know if I ought to try again. Agree with others on them running a tiny bit small in general. Nice quality though.

Runs small

My local m&s and John Lewis stock it

I’m 12-14 (hips are wide) but hour glass and in nobody’s child I’m size 12 so I’m quite surprised by all the comments. Maybe shape varies.

I’m going against the grain here, but I think it runs a bit large. Several times I’ve had to send back a 16 and get a 14 instead and I’m large boobed and definitely a 16 elsewhere.

I find true to size but I have a small bust. I also had to return my usual 16 for a 14 in one dress.
