chelsea Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi, Just got a big basket of shopping going online in the M & S Sale and I'm having problems deciding with sizing : Per una nightshirt Sizes are S,M,L My dad's girlfriend is a 14-16 and I dont know whether to get her a M or L M = a size 12/14 and L = a size 16/18 Why dont they just do a 14-16!! What do you think I should get (I dont want to offend her by getting large if she isnt - if you get what I mean ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I always buy larger than I am in nightshirts anyway as I cant bear to have to wrap itself around me tightly when I turn over.. if that makes sense? I agree tricky sizing there, 12/14 will be too small IMO though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'd get the larger one, and explain! She'll be able to return it easily enough if it's wrong. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 That's a tough one I am a size 12/14 and can wear size 12 stretchy M&S clothes and if I were buying a nightshirt for myself would probably go for the M. Would you say she was a hopeful 14 or a more realistic 16? A lot of people like quite baggy nightwear so perhaps L and say it's for snuggling into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I would order Large. "Designer labels" tends to size a bit on the tight side, and as it's M&S she could exchange it if it's way too big. I'm with loopyloo, you need room in nightclothes!

..lay a little egg for me Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I find the per una stuff a bit small, so I would go for the larger one...you can always explain your thinking if she is upset by having a large size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) thanks for the quick replies. ....I just couldnt make up my mind. I agree... I myself like roomy nightclothes plus I tend to shrink stuff She's a 16 bottom and 14 top... think I'll plump for the L Edited November 20, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I would go for the large, esp as she is a 16 bottom half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
