Ian any clue if this will be a top or dress 😊
I hope it's floaty summer trousers in a linen mix.

considering its only just changed its causing quite a few issues as its fashion (not like shoes or accessories) but from what i can see its a top similar to the original tsv they had but il keep working on it

I've got one of these that they did the last time in a mustard colour and I love it. I'll just have to have a look.

This is £9.75 on ebay. Looks the same? However, they don't have all the sizes or colours so if you like it then QVC might be worth a look. Also, returning things on ebay is a nightmare and seconds are notoriously wrong sizing.

"All sizes are approximate" doesn't inspire me with confidence.

Having a good size bust size doesn't always mean it will fit over the tum and hips, and I suspect with this it will be roomy around the chest but will get narrower further down, despite having a dipped hem.
 
I've given up on 'sizing'. Decades ago I could guarantee getting my size 18 from M & S which would fit perfectly - clearly when their garments were made in the UK. Now I'm a size 20 , but now I have to buy a size 24 from M & S which has been made in some far eastern destination. Same with Kaleidscope - but its even worse with that one - I have to (gulp!) get a 26 to accommodate my arms !!!

Crackers isn't it, that to fit your arms you have to buy 3 sizes up !!!!! (unless of course you buy sleeveless)

So I would say, if you have normal arms then Monsoon is probably ok, but if you have a 'tummy' then perhaps size up.

I know what you mean Brissles. Many years ago I was a 10 in M&S and Wallis and a 12 anywhere else. I have had problems from many places get your size in a top fits fine get the same top in a different colour either too big or too small. I've had packs of the T shirt bras from Marks,2 in a pack, one fits the other too small.

Ditto! I could rant but I won’t (for once) which is why I need changing rooms open. Last week I found a shop with an open changing room and bought a stack!,
 
Yes it is a lottery, just taken some trousers back to M&S today as I had to go up a size.At least it doesn’t cost me any more to try different sizes, just the inconvenience of returning, but at QVC it could cost £s.

I remember when the majority of M&S clothes were manufactured in U.K. as I worked for a supplier and we had factories all over the North of England.Then they wanted to cut the cost and so we now have most of our clothes made off shore.Now they are telling us to Buy British, well that garment & textile manufacturing was decimated and that level of expertise lost.
