How do Topshop and New Look sizes compare?

New Look sizes its clothes a bit larger in the bust and hip areas than Topshop. So it is likely that you might wear a size smaller in a New Look item than you would in a similar item from Topshop. Also keep in mind that if you are in the U.S., U.K. brands such as New Look and Topshop are sized differently than brands in the U.S. For instance, if you wear an 8 in most U.S. clothes, you would likely be a 12 in a U.K. brand.
