I want to order a suit (matching jacket and trousers or skirt) from Bravissimo, and while they have charts to tell you how to find your jacket size, they don't give any measurements for the trousers and skirts. My jacket size is a 12 "Really Curvy" but I don't know whether I should order a 12 in the trousers/skirt, or if I should order a 14 or 16 which are usually the sizes I wear in other UK trousers and skirts. I've been told Bravissimo sizing runs big, so maybe I should order the size 12 in the pants? Argh, I don't know. And I don't really want to have to order multiple sizes since I'm in the US and shipping back returns gets pricey.

Has anyone tried on Bravissimo trousers and skirts? Can you tell me how it related to your regular size? Was it the same? Did you need to order a larger or smaller size than usual? (Please specify if you're talking about UK or US sizing when you respond.)

I've sent an e-mail to Bravissimo asking them for measurements on the trousers and skirts, but haven't heard back.

Thanks for any help, and hope you're all having a safe and pleasant holiday season.
