lipsy dress sizings?????

zoesmummy_2006

ive found a lipsy dress that I NEED lol, its gorgeous and im gonna treat myself, but I have never bought a lipsy dress before and from googling ive read mixed reviews sizings wise. My problem is im top heavy, generally wear a size 10, but this looks quite fitted, its one shoulder but i have the holy grail of strapless bras now finally so im not worried about that!! Im thinking i should go for a 12 to be on the safe side, but i know i will be gutted if i get it and it ends up being too big.

Has anyone bought/got lipsy dresses that can tell me if they come up small. If its any help this is the dress im looing at.........

Im usually a size 10, top heavy, big bum but skinny sort of girl. I get size 8's from lipsy in dresses and they fit perfectly.
Definitely dont go for a size 12 if your usually a 10.

Never mind that (lovely dress though, hope it fits) - I want to hear about the bra as I've never found a strapless bra that works as it should - which one is it

I'd go for the 10 too. I'm usually between a 10 and 12 (depending on where I'm shopping) but a size 10 Lipsy dress I bought at my thinnest fitted like a glove. I'm pregnant now though so there's no hope of getting into it at the mo!

Regarding strapless bras, I can't fault the Ultimate Strapless Wonderbra, it's amazing!

I've also found Lipsy dresses true to size! Infact a couple I've got are actually the bigger of the dresses in that size!

I wouldn't say Lipsy are known for being generous in the chest department, if you have a big chest, I think you'd struggle, but that's only my opinion.

No wonder there are differences of opinion on sizing reviews: I'd disagree with Gillyx and say they are generous in the chest dept!

I think they come up quite big and are generous in the chest department. I am usually a size 8 and a DD chest and I have a size 6 strapless lipsy dress it fits perfectly and if my breasts were smaller it would be baggy round the top.

wonderbra ultimat strapless-OMG!!!!! im a 34E and have struggled to find a decent bra that gives support and shape while feeling comfortable and not having to yank up all the time. I was talking to some friends about trying finding a decent one and a bloke's helpful suggestion was to have someone hold them up for me-think he was thinking of himself for the job lol!!

well the wonderbra ultimate has 'hands' inside that do actually hold you up lol, its seriously fab!!! I got mine yesterday and wore it under just a plain halterneck top and it was sooooo comfy and didnt budge at all, not even when i was hoovering and bathing the kids!!! i have had wonderbras in the past and found them to come up slightly small so i went for 32F (found it cheap on ebay lol) and it fits perfect!! im seriously soooo happy, I wasted £20 in la senza a few months back on one that was horrendous. I need to buy at least another, I got the black lace one and want the cream lace too for summer!!
