Dorothy Perkins sizing?

[stopmakingsense]

I'm falling in love with some of the dresses on the Dorothy Perkins website. If you've ordered there before how does the sizing run?

I'm usually a 10/12 at stores like H&M. Pretty hourglass shaped.

I actually just got a dress from there. I got 2 size 6's and one was too tight and one was perfect. I think its hit or miss but the returns are free so that makes life easy. Plus the shipping was pretty quick.

Like fast enough if I ordered today I would get it by the weekend? It's my birthday weekend and I want a new dress.
I live in the middle of nowhere and the options for shopping suck.

No not that fast sadly.I got it 5 days later which I thought was fast for free international shipping.

Follow their size guide and use it against a normal line (not H&M). I am normally a size 8 in GAP and other mainstream clothing lines so I ordered a 12 in the pants and dress I have from them. The dress I have from them is the striped one I posted today in the OOTD that I wore on my birthday. They both fit great.
