La Senza bikini sizes

Have been looking at the bikinis on the La senza site. I usually buy a size 14 bottom and 10 or 12 top, do their sizes come up about right or a bit small/large? Cheers.

    I've not had any bikinis from La Senza but when buying underwear I was a size 8 at the time and needed a size 12 in the underwear so from my experience they come up small :o

    Other people might have different experiences though.

    I would agree, I'm a size 8 but need at least a 10 in the underwear and the back on my normal size of bra feels tight, but I am curvy although small, dd is small but straighter than me and fits La Senza perfectly in her normal size:)

    Not sure what to do, I am generally a size 10 on the top and 10/12 in 'everyday clothes' but buy bigger bikini bottoms wherever as they all seem a little snug!

    I would go a size up especially on the bottom but in my local one you can try on I'm not sure about returns online you normally can but as its bikinis it might be different, hmmm, maybe check their t&cs for the return policy or drop them an email.

    Just had a quick look and found this
    If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, or you selected the wrong size we are pleased to offer a 100% refund or exchange guarantee within 21 days of receipt providing they follow our company requirements. The goods should be unworn, all labels intact and all garments should be a proper resalable condition.
    Please note, postage will need to be paid when returning goods.
    You can return or exchange the goods purchased online to any La Senza store in the UK and Ireland (excluding Debenhams Concessions and Roches Stores). Just remember to take your invoice which was originally issued via e-mail (attached to the notification or dispatch e-mail) with you or they will not be able to refund the goods. Without this invoice goods will only be exchanged at the value currently being charged in store and no refund will be given.
    Alternatively please send your order back to:

    La Senza Lingerie Returns Dept
    Unit 5 Caxton Trading Estate
    Printing House Lane
    Hayes
    Middlesex
    UB3 1BE
    We regret we are unable to process returns or exchanges for product purchased via www.lasenza.com (the Canadian/US site). Please refer to the returns procedure on the La Senza website for full details.

    So you would have to pay unless you have a store near you, the bikinis are nice though:)

    edit - I adore this http://www.lasenza.co.uk/swimwear/12_price_swimwear/level3.aspx?d=4&type=532&style=701784&product=060010943&img=SS610_156 - oh no I feel a trip to La Senza comming on and its all your fault;)
