Sizing varies a great deal, not only between manufacturers but also between different styles from the same manufacturer. We try and give you as much information as we can on the product descriptions. If we feel a particular style runs on the tight side, we'll let you know on the listing. You can then use the guide below to get a better idea of what size to choose.

Kate’s clothing stock amazing clothing, most at reasonable prices. They are always a pleasure to deal with and they are very efficient both in the speed of delivery and the returning goods procedure. When you make purchases, you accrue points which come in handy when placing your next order.
The only problem that I have is that since they employed the use of the shop app, it always directs me to the shop app rather than the Kate’s clothing app.
Gorgeous dress, the sleeves drape beautifully. Checked the size guide and sized up, guide is accurate. Layers up over gothy leggings for a more autumn look.

This little mesh dress surprisingly stretches to fit normal dress sizes, but being small in the packing makes it an ideal item when going on holiday as it would not take up much space and weighs practically nothing.
This is a lovely little shirt which is ideal for everyday wear or as part of an outfit for an occasion. This shirt is a nice fit, so sizing is spot on.
I have only.just come across this company. I used tp be a Goth and looking at the clothes and jewellery on the website was like a trip down memory lane. I ordered a ring and nail varnishes. I found ordering straight forward but best of all was when everything arrived. The ring fitted and was gorgeous quality and the nail varnish (cruelty-free) stayed on my nails AND looked like the pictures on the website. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’m absolutely thrilled with my dress! What a bargain. It hangs so nicely, has pockets and the colour is gorgeous. It arrived really quickly. I would highly recommend and will buy from Kate’s Clothing again. Thank you!
