Isabella Oliver - sizing question

[LipstickGirl]

Has anyone ever bought from Isabella Oliver? I'm 12 weeks and feeling rubbish and thought some new clothes might help (they have a sale on!) but the sizes go from 1 - 6 and I think I'm considerably larger than their 9 month pregnant model... Does anyone know what the sizes equate to? I fear I might already be too big for their stuff...

I found their stuff quite small made but probably because both times I've been pg I've developed massive boobs from early on. I am normally a 10/12 and had one of the wrap tops in a 3 but then also bought a jumper dress thing from Ebay in a 5 which I thought would be a loose fit but was actually quite figure hugging. What items are you looking at? The wrap items have yards of fabric to wrap around (will make you laugh when you see it) so more flexible on size.

Thank you Bellebelle, anyone else?

I have found the opposite - sorry! with IO and all other places i bought maternity clothes from that i had to size down. In non-preg life I am 14 top with big boobs and 12 bottoms, but I've found size 3 fits me best in Isabella Oliver stuff. i think that's a size 12 equivalent. I bought a size 10 shirt from mothercare and am in size 10 jeans from DottyP and Top Shop. Pregnancy is such a boost to my ego!

1 - an 8
2 - a 10
3 - a 12
4 - a 14
I found it pretty true to size - was mainly in a 2 (size 10)

Absolutely agree with Belle - was a size 10 but ended up with size 3 which was marked large

So, the sizing is a bit, um, small.

I found it to be bang on. I am usually an 8-10 pre pregnancy and I bought items in a size 1 or 2. (usually 1 actually and towards the end these ended up a bit too tight)

The wrap tops are very flexible so if you like a tight fit on shoulders/arms then go for your normal pre-preg size because you can wrap it how you like. Be warned though, after wrapping you think you are all covered, but throughout the day there are times when you will see bits of bump where your wrapping has moved
