hello all,

i was wondering if you could help me/ give me some advise. i am looking at ordering my dress from china but my measurements state the from bust upward and hips down is size 14 but my waist is measuring a size 18. i am normally size 12/14 in clothes, what size would you guys think i should order???

many thanks

go with 18. cheaper to get a dress taken in than let out!

Go with what the size chart says. I wouldn't worry too much about the number.

Don't worry about the actual dress size stated, I am a size 8 normally (sometimes even a 6) and I had to order my wedding dress in a size 12 to fit my largest measurement and will then have to have the rest taken in. Go for the size 18 if that is the right measurement, as the other ladies have said, it is much easier to have it taken in than to make it bigger xxx

Deffo the size it says on the site i've bought suit jackets for work from china before and ignored the sizing and it had to go back as it was tiny i think a lot of the girls in that part of the world must be really petite so you have to scale upwards to compare with uk sizes.
