Monsoon sizing

I buy size 12 in M & S - (Per Una and Autograph)

Would I need to buy a size bigger in Monsoon?

I think Monsoon sizing is a bit weird. I can fit in dresses a size smaller than my usual size for dresses. My bottom half is a size smaller than my top half, but I can't get into trousers that should be the right size...

I always find that their sizing is roomy, and could go for a size smaller. But I only wear dresses and tops from there, so Pee could well be right about the trousers thing..

I have only bought dresses from Monsoon and found that I had to go up a size from my normal size. Their sizes can be a bit weird so I would recommend trying on or if buying on line buy 2 sizes and return the one thats no good.

This.

For dresses I buy a size down, fairly reliably. Skirts are often a size down soetimes on the mark, trousers are often weird there and tops are closer to size correctly. Jumpers etc are big though.

I had some smart linen trousers from there last year and they were h-u-g-e for the size.

I think the answer if you're ordering online is to buy 2 sizes (at least!)
