General consensus? If you’re up to a size UK24/US20/22, I’d definitely try some of their outerwear from both the women’s & mens collection. But stay tuned for when I go back for a second visit to try more of their main line collection on.
sizing
A lot of the pieces only come in two sizes, 1 (small) and 2 (medium). I tried on the same brown coat in both sizes and as you can see they both fit really well. There’s so much ambiguity around their sizing, that it meant a lot of us never even explored what was possible. On top of this a lot of the styles, especially outerwear are unisex and so they’ll make it in mens too which is bigger than women’s so almost like a Size 3 (large) so the piece you want might be available that way too.

offering
I was in a bit of a rush and so only wanted to try on easy pieces so i stuck to outerwear but i’ll definitely be going to the London store soon to try more of the ready to wear collection and so i’ll update you on what I found to be successful options.
service
To be honest I had a great experience, the sales advisor was super attentive and kept bringing different options for me to try, so I could understand the fit, so I definitely felt welcome.
