I want 2 dresses from ASOS, which is this UK store. I've never ordered from there and don't know how their sizing is, or if its consistent. I noticed they have a size chart and it goes like this:

My measurements are:

Bust: 38 (measured across widest part)
Waist: 30 (measured across natural waistline)
Hips: 38 (measured across widest part)

Both of the dresses I'm looking at have v-necks and are cut kinda low in front and my issue is with my breasts cuz I wear a 32E/F and I always have problems with them fitting into clothes. I weigh 133 (5'1") as of this morning but I'm exercising HARD right now to lose 5 lbs and will probably be closer to 128/129 by the time I receive the two dresses.

Judging by the size chart above I'm thinking I should go with either a 12 or a 14 but I don't know which would be safer...? What do you guys think? I'm hoping some people who have ordered from them before can chime in as to their sizing....

TIA :drunk:

ETA: I normally can fit a US size 8 in Express dresses.

We're about the same size/measurements. I would go with the 14. Your breasts may not fit into the 12 since it's 35 3/4.

I would go with a 14 also. If I plan on loosing weight I tend to buy my clothes snug. That motivates me to loose that weight.

^At first I was thinking the 14 as well, I just lose weight kinda quickly, so I'm kinda scared the 14 will fit my top, but the bottom may be ridiculously HUGE on me by the time I wear it....

But yeah I am kinda thinking the 14 may still be safest....?

Can you order both and then send the one that doesn't fit back? Or would that be too much since ASOS is in the UK?

I concur. And it's better to order too large, rather than too small. That way, you can take in the bottom half if you need to.
