chimmykins Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 My BB Dakota "Bella" Jacket arrived yesterday, but it's a bit on the small side. I have a bigger bust and it looks tight zipped up over them Anyone else have this jacket and find it runs small? I usually buy a UK M/L or UK 12/14/16 (depending on cut, garment, brand etc) so thought the USA L would fit fine - I even compared the measurements against another coat I own. Now, they tell me I may not be able to return as it took so long to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Oh no that sucks. I've noticed American sizes run small. I got a tshirt from Loveless City and had to order it in a medium yet over here most stuff I get are smalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchthesky Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 How much did you pay for it? You could try sticking it up on Ebay. Had I not just spent £500 of my pay on other things I would have asked if you wanted to sell it to me but alas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimmykins Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Yeh, I've heard American sizes can run small before which is why I measured another coat and checked the measurements - obviously didn't work out. I paid $75.00 for it on Amazon, might try the sell on ebay route. :) Edited February 3, 2011 by chimmykins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Think my stuff is all sorted for this now.

EternallyCullen Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I got confused when ordering Bella's New Moon birthday dress - they are in Jr/Teen sizes, which were a couple of inches different around the bust and waist than regular s/m/l/xl etc... For me it's fine because I'm fairly small... but if I didn't know, then I would have been screwed. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do the top bit I'm pretty sure the bottom bit is relatively easy. Material might be a little hard to come by tho. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
