/ Q

Hi there,
I like the ASOS brand you use in your outfit mockups. Have you ordered from them, and do you find the size conversion to be true? They have tons of cute things! Thanks!

I have not ordered from them (not for lack of want, but I’m an H&M devotee), but if you’ve ever shopped at H&M, you should be more comfortable with the size conversion.

The trick with UK size conversion is to leave your vanity at the door. H&M has gotten better about sizing more true to US size standards, but it’s still tricky.

A good rule of thumb is to go up two dress sizes. Like I said, check the vanity at the door. If you are a US size two, you’ll probably need a UK size 6—or even 8. Be careful with dresses that zip up the side or back—they’ll run even smaller.

Go for it! From what I’ve heard, ASOS clothing is really fantastic and their prices are equally awesome.
