Size M for UK 10/(small)12 - Decent quality
As the title says, I purchased a M for myself a UK 10/12 - with no give to this material that actual Dirndl its self fits just right on 29/30" waist however the separate top that comes with it is absolutely tiny. I'm a 34C and this top certainly felt more like a 6/8, tight across the bust and tight on the arms. Luckily I have a few of my own to use, but seems a shame I can't wear the complete set (but you can pick up milk maid tops everywhere and anywhere)
The material is OK, not fantastic quality but sturdy, robust and still comfortable. The separate apron feels a little cheap and flimsy but it's just for decoration and adds a nice touch.
Approx knee length on 5.5ft

Beautiful subtle nod, but very overpriced for 100% polyester
Purchased S for UK 10/12 and fits absolutely perfectly. I'm a 34C and fits fine across the bust and comfortably around my 28/29" waist. Knee length for 5.5ft
For the price I would have liked a more elaborate product with more texture and design features but I also like this this is a subtle (and obvious for fans) nod to the film. It's simplicity makes it a beautiful basic dress but any fan and spot the little details a mile off.
Disappointed at the extortionate price for something that's 100% polyester, would have loved some cotton or at least a cotton/linen lining for the price to the point where I'm not sure whether I'll keep this paying such an amount for a completely plastic based material. 100% polyester fabrics are horrific for the skin sensitive or not: it's not breathable and will cause static build up with regular wear (as well as being terrible for the environment!) Trying to avoid buying it as much as possible but this was sold out so quickly before and is gorgeous but I really can't justify the price - And I brought for £88 with the 20% off! I'm just not sure how they've justified such a high price tag on this one.

Good general fit, but the design has been badly positioned
They fit great for UK 8-14, I'm 5.5ft and about a 12/small 14 at my hips and these had a lot of give.
I'm disappointed however to purchase these new (at full price only to find the next day they were reduced!) and to notice that the packaging had already been opened, the bar code covering the seal had been split but the tights seemed to look in unworn condition.
I don't know whether I was just unlucky but unfortunately the design I received did not feature a full size witch silhouette at all, instead all 4 features where positioned on the inside leg seam and as such were split in half rendering the overall look pretty pointless.
The quality of the print and feel of these tights is great but just upset that I don't get to see them for the design I actually paid for.
I don't think I'm able to return these but will be re-purchasing in the hope that the design will be better next time.

XL for a 10/12 does not give a very flattering figure
Ordered on a Friday and received the following Monday so can't fault the quick delivery.
Sizing
Purchased an XL as some had suggested to suit a UK 10/12 but have since found this to be too large for me a 34C and strangely longer than a normal jacket? It's not fitted at the waist so instead comes across as an unflattering rectangle - Due to its square, straight cut it also doesn't allow for much wiggle room at the hips, the XL sits OK for me personally (and I have fairly wide hips), but if I went for an L and had it fastened it would probably sit above my hips creating a folded bulge losing the totality of the design. I would struggle to believe that even an M would fit over the hips (especially as this is not stretchy in any way). I'm 5.5ft and the arms on the XL are a little too long and baggy for my liking.
Design & Material
Despite the odd sizing and style the design is as described: the embroidery, the patches and back motif look fantastic and feel sturdy enough to stand the test of time. I feel like the denim is of good quality and I like that it's not overly thick and chunky meaning it's still comfortable to move in and I can layer up or down for several seasons. As others have also mentioned, the hoodie is thin and not of excellent quality but allows for layering underneath.
THE HOOD IS DETACHABLE - I feel like I should stress this for people who may not want to wear this with the hood like myself. It buttons on and off.
Not sure how I feel about this one, may size down and try an L for comparison but not really feeling the straight cut look and odd length...

Minimal difference in sizing, overpriced for what you get
Really not sure how I feel about this one, firstly I think it’s very overpriced for what it is £32.99! The print is cute but the design and material are very basic with no extra features such as a little embroidery, mesh, lace just nothing to make it a little more textured - a simple print is not worth this much.
Secondly purchased this in both S and M and have hardly noticed any difference in sizing. I’m a UK 10/12 34C and 29” waist.
Initially I purchased the S and noticed the “waist” band sits abnormally higher than my waistline (I’m 5.5ft for reference), it couldn’t even pass as a bust/empire band, it seems to sit awkwardly too high for the waist and too low if it were designed to sit at the bust line. This is the same in both the S and M size so although it looks pretty, it feels like it looks a bit disproportionate.
I’m afraid to say I think I’ll be returning these and may only re-purchase if it gets significantly reduced in the sale.

Purchased S for UK 10/12
Been losing a bit of weight recently and didn't know if I was getting a little too ahead of myself ordering a size Small but this item is super stretchy, very very soft and has a great shape. It doesn't cling to those odd wavy curves by my waist/hips.
My only slight concern is that for me the waist is just a cm higher than I would have liked but I think that is due to an overall length difference between the Small and Medium size. I'm 5.5ft for reference.
Beautiful print, cute collar and has a button tie at the back of the neck. Cold shoulders sit just right :)

Stunning dress, true to size
Purchased a size M which I would say is definitely suitable for a 12/small 14. I’m actually a 10/12 now but know these sizes are similar to Hot Topic and out of experience tend to come up smaller so purchased a Medium just to be sure but I don’t think this was necessary, a size Small would have suited 10/12 just fine.
Although a tiny tiny bit big on me at the shoulders the quality of the fit and stretch means this dress stays in place very well.
The material is fantastic, great quality and the design as everyone has said is subtle but I love that you can tell it’s Disney close up. Beautiful illustrated design.

Beautiful top, quality material
Purchased an M originally my for myself a UK 10/12 and found this to be very roomy. Think an M would be better suited to a UK 12/14. Super glad I re-ordered a size S as this fits me a 34C much better.

Beautiful eye-catching clip, quite heavy
So glad to see lots of Mulan merch coming out to celebrate 20 years since its release, I knew I had to get my hands on this gorgeous clip!
It's thick, sturdy and painted well, the only downside is that it's a little heavy so just be sure to clip with a lot of hair to make sure it holds well.

Size S best suited for 8-12, Size M best suited for 12-16
Purchased an M to suit myself as a UK 10/12 but felt a size smaller would have been better. For me the M was a little loose around the shoulders so I felt that it was likely to slip off.
Re-ordered in a S and could tell the difference straight away, fits more comfortable across my shoulders and sits comfortably on my bust without flapping around losing visibility of the print. I'm a 34C and would feel that a Small size would be perfect for an 8-12.
My only concern is the tassels, as I know from experience these kind of tassels fray and split in the wash so I would suggest hand wash only. Alternatively if there is a way to singe the ends to avoid fraying I would recommend doing so. Once these start getting tangled and frayed it will really impact the overall look for this Kimono so handle it with care!
