La Redoute - Sizes

I adore this catalogue and their website and if you haven't seen it I'd suggest you take a look.

The only niggly little problem is their sizes make it seem as though I'm bigger than I am.
In shops I'm normally a 12/14 having quite wide hips but a small waist yet when I order from here I gotta buy a size 14/16 which sometimes still seems a little tight...

Anyone else had a similar experience?

I can never get the sizes right from them, I normally end up ordering my size and a size up. I am normally about a 10, some of the 10/12s fit me but I often end up with 12/14. Most of the clothes fit well, its just finding the right size! Its not just you though! :smile:

thanks for posting this topic!!!
I hadn't heared of this shop before so i did a google search and found their website. They have exactly the type of light jumpers I'm looking for!!! a light jumper with a turtle neck that is really huge and doesn't suffocate you (I like the turtle neck style, cause I want something that doesn't have a v-neck like most of my other stuff this winter. But the turtle necks I have i don't like wearing as I feel like they are suffocating me... but they have really loose turtle necks!!!! :biggrin: )

well, seems to be too expensive, that particular item, but I live near the french boarder... lol, I bet it's all cheaper in France anyway.

It does seem quite expensive at first, but every now and then you get money off vouchers and offers through the post. You just gotta take advantage of everything!
Also, I know it isn't wise to suggest people go in debt and that, but I'm only really able to buy my winter coat and boots by using their credit/personal account, it can really help spread the cost.:smile:
