What are Hobbs t-shirt sizes like? Is a 14 like M and S 14 or like Top Shop 14?
TIA

I would be interested to know this too.

Got my missus a vest top in the Nottingham store. They were really funny about it, and started adding extra t and c to the card - must give details, one card per address, must spend over 25 quid.

Anyone else met this? I have another 3 cards to use...

I'm curious about sizing too, do they run large or small?

That's great! I gave my gift card away to my sister who was equally not fussed about it so gave it away again to another of our sisters. Never been into Hobbs and so thought it would be ridiculous prices for clothes and as you can't use it to buy accessories..... sob sob sob.

But, for instance, is a size 14 a large or small 14? I'm a size 20 (on my way down from a 24) - will the size 18 cami-top (for under sheer blouses) be okay for me? It's just that the t&cs state that you don't get the card back if you return an item!

Oh! I've just found out that there's a Hobbs in the new New Change shopping centre at St Paul's (5 mins walk from my office). I think I'm going to take a chance.

I'm sure you'd be able to exchange it for something else. I think they just mean that they won't be giving you a giftcard or credit note so you can use it another time.

Can't you go in and try them on? Sorry if this sounds obvious, just that I think it can only be used instore... so you would be able to try before buying to get the size right.

I wasn't going to go for this offer but hubby picked me up a red this morn so went it at lunchtime to use it...

The lady in the store literally followed me around like I was a shoplifter or something! She simply wouldn't leave me on my own and was pointing out this & that. I noticed that she got talking to another member of staff so quickly snapped up a top but then she followed me to the tills! When I got the voucher out she remarked 'oh you've got one of those' in a mock jovial but also resentful tone. She said that I had to give my details if I was using the voucher then asked 'Miss or Mrs? Miss isn't it?' !!! She took my postcode & then made me confirm my address...I felt a bit quizzed.

Hubby likes my top (it was £29.00 which meant £4 with the voucher, they said they'd never sold a top so cheap before with false smiles) but I'm not sure it was worth the hassle. I would have liked to have found a top for £25 but after the hassle I just wanted to get out of the store!! None of it was spiteful but it all added up to me thinking it was quite a snooty store that I wasn't welcome in. Glad some of you ladies had a good experience though Thinking back I wish I'd gone for one of the stripey tops but never mind!!
