nown for party dresses, prom looks and curve-accentuating fits, Quiz is one of the UK’s go-to brands for fast, fabulous occasionwear. Whether you’re shopping for a night out, a wedding guest look, or a matching co-ord, one thing can make or break your outfit: Does Quiz run big or small?

Tellar.co.uk matches your body to the correct size in Quiz—and thousands of other brands. We’ll send you a free measuring tape, you’ll complete your profile just once, and then get accurate size recommendations for every product type. No more guessing. It’s always free.

In this guide, we break down how Quiz clothing fits, how it compares to UK high-street sizing, and what you should watch out for across key categories like dresses, jumpsuits, tops and trousers.


About Quiz: High Street Glam with Curve-First Cuts

Founded in Glasgow, Quiz has become synonymous with:

  • Affordable going-out fashion

  • Embellished party dresses and formalwear

  • Figure-hugging silhouettes made with stretch

  • Fast, trend-led collections across standard, petite and curve sizing

But with frequent collection changes and mixed fabrics (from stretch crepe to rigid satin), sizing can be inconsistent—even if you’ve shopped Quiz before.

That’s why savvy shoppers now use Tellar.co.uk to remove uncertainty—matching their exact shape to every style, fit, and fibre.


So—Does Quiz Run Big or Small?

Quiz generally runs true to size, but fitted occasion pieces can run small in the bust, waist, and hips, especially in bodycon styles or woven fabrics without stretch. Casualwear and jersey dresses tend to run more forgiving.

Fit Snapshot:

  • Dresses – true to size, but snug in structured styles

  • Jumpsuits – slim waist, short in torso

  • Tops – true to size; may be tight in arm or bust

  • Trousers & skirts – fitted through waist and hips

  • Curve & Petite ranges – adapted cuts but similar sizing logic

📏 Use Tellar’s Store Size Lookup to get your exact Quiz size across every category—based on your height, shape and preferred fit.

How Quiz Clothing Fits (Category Breakdown)

1. Dresses (Bodycon, Wrap, Skater, Occasion)

Quiz dresses are a mainstay for nights out and special events.

  • Fit: Structured styles can feel tight in bust and waist

  • Size Tip: Stay true to size in stretch dresses; size up for satin or sequin bodycon

  • Tellar Tip: Bust and hip ratios + fabric flexibility calculated for a perfect fit


2. Jumpsuits & Playsuits

Often designed with slim waists, soft pleats and halter or bandeau tops.

  • Fit: Narrow waist and short torso

  • Size Tip: Size up if tall or curvy in the waist

  • Tellar Tip: Tellar matches based on torso length, waist and bust-to-hip proportion


3. Tops & Blouses

Frilled, cropped, or ruched tops dominate Quiz’s day and night lines.

  • Fit: Regular fit in stretchy styles; woven tops may feel tight across chest or arms

  • Size Tip: Stay true to size unless busty

  • Tellar Tip: Shoulder and bust width ensure no gaping or pulling


4. Trousers, Skirts & Co-Ords

From faux leather leggings to satin trousers and matching co-ord sets.

  • Fit: High-waisted, fitted at bum and thigh

  • Size Tip: True to size in stretch; size up in woven styles

  • Tellar Tip: Rise, waist, and hip width factored into every match


5. Curve & Petite Collections

Cut for body variation but same size number logic as the main range.

  • Fit: More proportional for curvy or petite frames, but same numerical sizing

  • Size Tip: Stick to your usual UK size

  • Tellar Tip: Body shape detection fine-tunes for petite height or curve distribution


Why Quiz Sizing Can Be Hard to Judge

Quiz offers fashion at speed—and that means size consistency can vary. Common fit issues include:

  • Bust darts or seams not aligned with your bust height

  • Satin and sequin dresses feeling tighter than stretch jersey options

  • Short rise in jumpsuits for taller or longer-torso bodies

  • No product measurements on most retail pages

Instead of risking it, Tellar.co.uk calculates your exact size across all cuts and fabrics. It even adjusts for body shape, fabric stretch, and garment structure.

🎁 Plus—we send you a free measuring tape so your profile is exact, once and for all.
