We try to edit our photos to show the garments as life-like as possible, but please bear in mind that the actual colour may vary slightly on occasion dependent on your monitor or phone device. We cannot guarantee that the colour you see accurately portrays the true colour of the product and apologies for any confusion and disappointment this may cause.

Our gorgeous model Sarah is 5'7 and wears a size XS or 6.

In most cases we do, although we do phase out products to make room for new ones (our headquarters is quite small!). If you select your size and hit the "NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE" we will email you as soon as your size is restocked.
I am between sizes – which one should I choose?
The majority of our styles are true to UK sizing, and we advise you to purchase your usual size unless specifically stated in the style description advertised on our website.
For some of our looser fit garments, our sizing runs from S-L, with the following sizing structure
S: UK 8-10
M: UK 12-14
L: UK 16-18
If you are between sizes our advice is to go a size down if you would like the item to be more fitted and go up a size if you prefer a more relaxed fit.
