F21 dresses - sizing?

Lilykind · Hermes

I'm a 34D/DD, a 6/8 on top and a 4/6 on the bottom, but I'm just flat out curvy. I wear an M/L in the stretch jerseyish stuff and an L in anything that is more strutured.

If you're a small C, I think you should be fine with a S most of the time. I think you may only encounter problems when the dress is structured or a button down shirtdress, at which point you should probably size up and get the dress tailored.

small is small.
large is small.
medium is large.
small is medium.
small is large.

that's basically their sizing.

I think we have very similar body types. I am somewhere between a 34 B and C and find F21 non-stretch dresses to be cut rather generously in the chest - I wear a small in them and normally wear an xs/s and a 1 or a 2 in most other stores.

LOL - that's what I was afraid of!

Michibanana & Lilykind - thanks, I think a small will work just fine (yeah I'm a small C)!

I usually size up one for anything knit/stretchy or anything synthetic , but it really is all over the place. I can usually stay with a S for 100% cotton. I am usually a 1 at Gap, 0 at Express and BR.

I personally think it totally depends on the dress - but as a general rule you're probably a smal.
