Can anyone tell me about the sizing at Modcloth? There's a dress I really, really want to order but I have never ordered from them before. I run like an XL on top (size 16 or so) because I am pretty busty. But I'm only a 10-12 on bottom. I looked at their size charts and it looks like they are saying an XL is around a size 14 and a 1X is 16-18. So I am not sure which size to buy.
Thanks. |

I only tried a few things from them, and it was several years ago, but I had to send everything back because it was too small. So my instinct is to go larger.

Check out the reviews for that particular dress. That usually helps.

I bought a top in my regular size and had to return for a size bigger. I am not sure if everything runs small.

I'd size up. They opened a pop-up shop here and I was able to go in and try things on. I'm about a size 6 and usually wear a small or medium. I was consistently a medium in their clothes.

My experience is to size up. Everything I have ever ordered from there has run small. PS- This thread is useless without pics and now we need to see the dress!  |

I just thought it would look perfect with these shoes that I just bought.
ETA: I am walking in graduation in May and I thought this dress would look nice. Of course you won't really see it under my graduation gown, but I can wear it to work all summer too.

I find their reviews are a huge help with sizing.

It's too bad there aren't any reviews. I usually go by those. I'm a 2X and have ordered all the way from 1X-4X depending on the manufacturer and cut. Very cute dress and shoes!

I would go for the 1X. If that is what their sizing says, that's how I buy most of my objects and to be honest buy both and you can return the other one with free shipping. I will say a lot of their stuff runs small especially in the chest.
And if you really can manage it I would buy the XL, 1X and 2X just to make sure and return what I didn't need..it's a darling enough dress.

When I shop for my mom online I always buy 2 sizes and have her return the one that didn't fit.

That dress is adorable. You may be guilty of the crime of enabling. |

Their sizing is quite inconsistent in my experience. Generally it's a good idea to size up with Modcloth.

The only thing I have ever ordered from Modcloth is a cardigan sweater (that I love). But I just wanted to say that dress is adorable!

I have two dresses in my bag at Modcloth and that is one of them! I'm still debating whether to buy it as I already have over 20 dresses bought from them over the last year and it is kind of similar to one I already own. If you buy it, please post a picture of yourself wearing it!

That is a very cute dress. I have to say, though, that under a graduation gown, something like that would poof on me and make me look like a ball. I am short, though. Under a grad gown, Lands End sheath dresses are great. That dress you have is darling

Such a cute dress! I love their reviews because often the reviewer posts their height and bra size which helps so much. Maybe you can order and be the first to review it.
