What’s My Clothes Size at Missguided? Does Missguided Run Big or Small?

Missguided is a fast-fashion favourite known for bold silhouettes, body-hugging fits, trend-led styles and club-ready occasionwear. Whether you’re shopping corset tops, ruched midi dresses, faux leather co-ords or statement trousers, Missguided is unapologetically bold, curve-accentuating and made for confident dressing.

But with stretch fabrics, plunging necklines, and short hems, one sizing question constantly comes up:

Does Missguided run big or small?

And how do you figure out your size without trial and error?

This guide breaks it down—and introduces Tellar.co.uk, the UK’s most accurate free sizing tool that gives you your exact Missguided size in real time, based on your measurements and the fit of each item.


Does Missguided Run Big or Small?

Missguided tends to run small, especially in:

  • Bodycon dresses

  • Corset and crop tops

  • Fitted trousers and skinny jeans

  • Plunge or structured bodices with minimal stretch

However:

  • Oversized jumpers, tees, joggers and lounge sets often run true to size or generous

  • Stretch co-ords and jersey basics are cut tighter but forgiving in fabric

  • Outerwear and puffers are usually true to size with some layering room

If you’re in between sizes, have a curvier build, or prefer more movement:

  • Size up in fitted woven pieces, especially non-stretch satin or poplin

  • Stick to size or size down in boxy or relaxed cuts


Why Missguided Sizing Can Be Confusing

1. Fitted is the Default

Missguided’s aesthetic leans body-conscious, with a focus on:

  • Cinched waists

  • Tight sleeves

  • Curve-enhancing seams

    So even a “true to size” item may feel snug—particularly at the bust, waist or hips.

2. Fabric Variability

Common fabrics include:

  • Stretch jersey and scuba – soft and body-hugging

  • Satin, organza and crepe – rigid, unforgiving

  • PU leather – structured with minimal stretch

  • Knits and fleece – generous and comfy

Two size 12 dresses in different materials will fit very differently.

3. Size Chart Gaps

Missguided offers standard UK sizing (6–18), but limited advice per product. Most listings don’t indicate if an item runs large or small—making trial and error common without guidance.

While helpful, this chart doesn’t account for fabric type, garment cut, or body shape. That’s where Tellar.co.uk becomes invaluable.

Why Tellar Works So Well for Missguided

✅ Cut-Aware Sizing

Tellar knows when to size up for a fitted PU corset—and when to size down for a slouchy knit.

✅ Fabric-Sensitive

Stretch jersey and satin don’t behave the same. Tellar adjusts size logic based on fabric.

✅ Proportion-Based

Tellar uses your most relevant measurement (e.g. bust for corset tops, hips for fitted skirts) to recommend the right size.

✅ One-Time Setup

Input your measurements once. Get instant, accurate sizing forever.

✅ Always Free

No subscriptions. No paywalls. Just smart sizing.


Example: UK Size 12 Shopper

Measurements:

  • Bust: 91cm

  • Waist: 74cm

  • Hips: 101cm

Tellar might recommend:

  • Missguided ruched mini dress: UK 14 (snug fit through hips)

  • Missguided oversized sweatshirt: UK 10 (roomy cut)

  • Missguided PU trousers: UK 14 (fitted waist)

  • Missguided stretch co-ord: UK 12

  • Missguided satin wrap dress: UK 14 (rigid fabric, fitted waist)

Every recommendation includes a brief reason, so you know exactly why it fits.


Not Just for Missguided

Once your Tellar profile is saved, it also gives you exact sizing for:

Final Thoughts

Missguided runs small in fitted styles, especially in woven, structured or bodycon garments. Oversized pieces and stretchy basics are more forgiving—but choosing the right size depends on fabric, design, and your shape.

Tellar.co.uk removes the guesswork by giving you real-time, proportion-based sizing per garment category. It’s fast, free, and ensures you always order the right fit first time.
