    Default Brand sizing

    Are there any Leg Avenue or What Katy Did connoisseurs who could help me with sizing worries please:


    Would a pair of leg avenue tights said to fit "sizes 8-16" actually be big enough to fit a size 16 if they're small enough to fit a size 8?

    Would "large" What Katy Did pants said to fit 14/16 fit a size 16 frame?


    I've never bought from or worn either brand before & I'm always dubious of clothing that fits "up to" a size after falling for the "one size fits all... Providing you're a size 12 or smaller" con before. Could anyone advise me on whether my size 16 figure could realistically wear either brand/item?

    Don't know much about Leg Avenue but I'm also a size 14 - 16 and can tell you that What Katie Did pants etc are sized very small. I am a size 18 in their pants and pretty sure that the 'large' wouldn't cover my ample backside!!! I also have What Katie Did seamed fishnet tights that I think are one-size and (as I'm tall as well as ample) they have a rather low gusset!!!! I can only really wear them with pants or a leotard over the top of them!!!

    Hope that has helped a little bit!!!

    I'm a size 16 (32" waist 45" hips) and I find WKD XL fit like a glove.

    Thanks ladies, will definitely look into XL (though the thought of being branded as an extra large body doesn't half depress me! Ha ha).

    Any recommendations on where to purchase What Katy Did, or is it best to go direct with the WKD website/shops?

    The best place to purchase What Katie Did stuff is either direct from their website / shop OR from their ebay shop where they sell end of lines and slight seconds. You can often pick up a bargain. Think there's a link to it on their website.
