They are small fitting IMO.

I would be a size 10 and normally buy a M if that helps

I'm also a size 12 and the last blazer I bought from Forever 21 is a size M.

According to the Forever 21 website the measurements for tees, tops, jackets etc is:



The website also states that Love 21 blazers run about a half size larger than Forever 21 ones.

I checked the measurements against those given on the Dorothy Perkins website as you mentioned being a 12 in there and they list a 12 as being

Bust - 36¼ inches
Waist - 29 inches
Hips - 38½ inches

So I think a Medium in Forever 21 would fit you nicely.

If you are closer to a size 10 or bang on smaller side of size 12 go for medium but if you're a more generous 12 or going on 14 large for sure, they large is a 12-14 in other shops medium is more like 10-12 and small 8 ish.

If it isnt a tight fitting thing you should be fine medium with a big of give shouldnt give a size 12 any issues but I doubt L is going to be too big they are all small fits in that shop.

My final say is if you're a 12 in other shops with larger fittings you will definately be a medium in F21.

Thanks for all the replies..especially the measurements you posted thurston..medium would fit but im actually thinking of going for the Large as its a short blazer with 3/4 sleeve so would look awful too tight but could get away with it being a little bit big iykwim

I'm a size 14 and I wear a Forever 21 M. Ordered a bunch of XL stuff in their January sales online - DISASTER, 16-18 every last one of them.

Kitty did you ever order anything in a size L ?

Kitty-kitty

No, but I bought two Ms in the shop and both fit perfectly.

I'm a 14-16, and wear a M in some tops from Forever 21, but a L in things like blazers and the like.
