Totally OT - COAST dresses

[kirstylm]

Ive only ever brought one drerss from Coast before and am needing to get a dress for a wedding in May.

Im now smaller than I was before LO arrived, dont know how I just seem to have shrunk lol! Im about a size 8 now, with small boobs too

I have seen the most gorgous dress on Ebay listed as a size 6. The lady selling said she had it altered to fit her size 6-8. She has a 34B bust, same as me so am hoping it will fit.

My question is ...... how do COAST dresses come up? Would u say they come up big or small or what????

Really want this dress but will be gutted if it doesnt fit!

I love Coast dresses - they are classy, perfect for occasions without a stupidly high price tag.
Personally I have always found Coast to be a bit on the generous side.
I am always between sizes - not usually an 8 but a 10 too big (even if I try and lose or gain I STILL stay in the middle) but I can always fit comfortably in a smaller size Coast dress.
The boobs would be my worry, I have always been small build with 34E so sometimes I have to do quite a bit of trying on to suit. I would say though if she is 34B you wouldn't have a problem......? x

I'm a size smaller in coast, I think fancy dressy shops do a size bigger to give you more confidence when you wear it (thats what my mam reckons anyway).

Show us the dress!

I love Coast!! totally my shop of choice for weddings Anyway I agree they come up generous, I have always fitted well into the dresses, with room to spare, not digging in or anything

they are deffo generous! I was a size 12/10 with 32E boobs and easily fitted in the size 10 dress I got - the 12 fell off.
