Vivienne Westwood sizing or suitable alternative?

I’ve long been lusting after a Vivienne Westwood deconstructed-style blazer (like the drunken tailor one). They’re expensive so ideally I’d find a second hand one, or even a dupe.

I suppose I have two questions. One is around sizing - I’m usually a 16 on top. This would presumably be a 48 in VW sizing? And the second would be if anyone has one of her jackets already - how do they come up? Large/small? The website don’t have them in a 48 so I’m trying to work out if they are made in that size at all.

Or does anyone want to make my day and tell me they found a similar shaped jacket for mere pennies somewhere else?! (A girl can wish 😂)

Oh, yes - do it! Make an occasion of it, dress up and do some other shopping, have a posh coffee. I'd love to go into a VW store and try a few things on but I know I'd end up buying something I couldn't really afford!

If you don't find any clothes in the WV store that tick the holy grail of 1. You loving it it 2. It suiting you 3. It fitting comfortably - you might still find something you like amongst the accessories. I've seen some lovely VW watches lately, sadly out of my budget, but I can dream 😆

You’re right! I’m looking forward to it.

It would be lovely if you could update us if you get the jacket, or something else @Badgerstriper ! Have a fab shopping day!
