Peacocks Maternity Clothes?


Has anyone bought stuff from there? How does their sizing work?

From what I can see it's 10/12 or 14/16. I'm a size 12. So what should I buy? xx

I tend to go a size up in peacocks even in normal clothes (back when they fit me! ). I'm a size 16 in most shops, in there I get 18/20, seems to fit better.

I'm usually between an 8 and a 10 and their 10-12 seems fine on me.
Do you have a shop nearby that you can go and try them on? If in doubt I'd go a size bigger, I've got some fitted size 10 tops from new look maternity and, even though I'm not massive bump wise, I think they are only just going to last until full term.

I hate peacocks sizing, so awkward. when i was a standard size 14 the 14-16 would always be too big if i was you, i would go for the 10-12 cos if your only a size 12, the 14-16 would be massive x

I was gonna bid on something on ebay, but since the sizing seems so daft I might just not take the risk of it not fitting xx

I am a size 8-10 and accidentally bought a 14-16 top (had the wrong size on the hanger) from peacocks and have a small bump and the top doesn't drown me in as you would have thought, it does tie at the back though which I suppose helps make it smaller.

I'm a 12 ordered 10-12 and ended up sending them back and getting 14-16! Their trousers are also very long - altho maybe I'm just short!! :-)

I was a size 10 pre pregnancy.....I bought size 10/12 trousers from there and they still fit me even though I've put 2.5 stone on (most of which is on my legs!) they are quite stretchy tho xx
