LeMieux women’s sizing

[SeventeenTwoChesnutMare]

Anyone know if it’s M&S-like (where a 12 is more like a 14), about right, or goes the other way and you need to size up? I’ve lost quite a lot of weight (stress, so not in a good way, sadly) and my clothing-size bearings.

It depends if it’s stretchy base layers or something more structured. Dd has a few Le Mieux bits - with anything stretchy she’s in the smallest size possible (she has the tiniest torso!) but her padded jacket is a size 8 - she has room for a couple of layers if needed underneath but she’s normally a 4 or a 6 so I’d say size slightly up for things like jackets

I'd say it's slightly on the small side. I tried a gilet on and I'm usually a 12 but had to go to a 14 even with only a thin sweater underneath.

Agreed, it's definitely on the small side. I'm glad I tried things on before buying - I'd definitely size up.

I'm a 12-14 and in a large. I find the shoulders in particular are small fitting.

I've only ever bought a couple of things but it's on the small side for me. I bought a size 12 gilet when I'm usually an 8-10.

I have a jacket in a 12 (I'm a 10/12) that I can fit several layers under and it's still not big. Dd has one in her normal size that is skin tight. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of rhyme or reason to it dd9 is wearing anything from age 10 to adults xs

Still quite big that was meant to say

Thanks so much all! Sorry, should’ve specified it’s jackets/coats. Sizing is so tricky these days, even without factoring in my decreased bulk and the chances of regaining it at some point when stress levels, please god, go down.
