Karen Millen dress sizing!

jillyb

hey there,

Couple of years ago I got a Karen Millen dress size 8. Was a bit of a tight fit but managed to wear it to a wedding. Back then i was an 8/10.Usually 8 on top (small bust) and 10 on bottom.
These days i'm more of a big ten 10 all over- not quite a 12.

Thing is the dress no longer fits and I wanted to sell it and get a replacement in either size 10 or 12. not sure what to choose as its hard to judge the sizing.

anyone have experience with this brand and what size do you think i should get?its online so cant try it on first unfortunately.

see pic attached!

I would guess that if you have gone up a dress size, then maybe go for it in a 10? Karen Millen always come small fitting. But as you seem to be slightly bottom heavy and this dress skims the lower half you would probably get away with the 10.

hey thanks for the reply.

ya I think the 10 perhaps. just so annoying the way sizing between brands are so different

As in I have a savida corset dress size 10 that doesnt fit me anymore but I recently bought two dresses from Tesco F&F range, one was 8 and one was 10 and they fit perfectly. might be because they were sort of a jersey stretchy material though!!

I always Karen Millen to be small fitting on me, i.e. meaning that I had to go up a size in their dresses.
