“I Needed a Garden Party Dress — and Learned Why Sizing Feels So Impossible (Until I Used Tellar.co.uk)”

There’s something magical about a garden party invite:
flowers blooming, pastel dresses twirling, everyone sipping prosecco under string lights.

I had the invite.
I had the vision.
I just needed the perfect dress.

What I didn’t realise was that finding it would almost break me.

Shop 1: Sizing Confusion, Table for One

First stop: Mango.
I spotted a beautiful sage green wrap dress — romantic and effortless.

I grabbed my usual size 10.
Too tight.
Tried a 12.
Still snug across the hips.

Went for a 14.
Now the bust gaped and the waist hung awkwardly.

Was it me? Was it the dress? Was it Mercury in retrograde?

Shop 2: Same Story, Different Store

Next, River Island.
Their ruffled floral dress called my name.

Size 12: wouldn’t zip.
Size 14: zipped, but the fit felt completely off.

By this point, I didn’t know if I should laugh, cry, or move to a nudist colony.

Shop 3: The Fitting Room Freak-Out

Finally, Zara.

Cue the full-blown identity crisis:
I was a size 10 in some pieces, a 14 in others, and in one cruel case… neither size worked at all.

Then I Found Tellar.co.uk — and Things Started Making Sense

Sitting outside Zara, feeling defeated, I stumbled across Tellar.co.uk on my phone.

Their promise?

“We match your real body measurements to 1,500+ brand size charts — so you know exactly what size to pick.”

That sounded like the miracle I needed.

I quickly:

Created a free sizing profile
Entered my chest, waist, and hip measurements
Selected the stores I was shopping at

And there it was:

Mango: size 14 recommended
River Island: size 12
Zara: size 14

It turns out, the confusion wasn’t all in my head.
Different brands size their clothes differently — but Tellar.co.uk takes away the mystery by matching your body to each brand’s official size chart.
