"I Was a Size 8, 10, 12 and 14... All in One Afternoon - Until I found Tellar.co.uk

Have you ever had one of those shopping days where you start off excited — and end up questioning your entire existence?

That was me last Saturday.

I had a wedding to go to (daytime ceremony, fancy but not too fancy — you know the drill), and I needed a dress. Easy, right?I threw on some comfy jeans and headed to the high street, feeling optimistic.

I walked into Zara first. Found the perfect sage green wrap dress. Size 10 — my usual — looked tiny.No worries, I thought. Grabbed a size 12. Still awkwardly tight across the chest.I sighed, bumped up to a 14, and finally zipped it up... but it drooped weirdly on my waist.

First blow to the confidence: delivered.

Then I popped into H&M. Different vibe, more casual dresses. This time, the size 10 I grabbed hung off me like a tent.A helpful sales assistant chirped, "Oh, we do run a bit big!"Great. Good to know after I’d wrestled with a mirror having a minor identity crisis.

Next was Mango. Their dresses? Gorgeous. Their sizing? A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a linen blend.A size 10 was perfect for my hips but squashed my bust like a corset from the 1800s.I tried on a size 12 — better up top, but suddenly loose everywhere else.

By the time I hit River Island, I was trying on size 8s and size 14s within the same fitting room session.How was this even possible?

I sat down with a coffee, scrolling through my phone, wondering how shopping for a simple dress had become an exercise in mental gymnastics.

That’s when I found Tellar.co.uk.

I read their promise:

"Tellar.co.uk matches your real body measurements to over 1500 brands — so you know exactly which size will fit, before you even walk into the store."

Honestly, I was skeptical. But it was free, so I gave it a try.

I entered my chest, waist, and hips into Tellar's profile page (took about 90 seconds).Immediately, it told me:

• Zara: size 14 (yep, explains a lot)
• H&M: size 8-10 (relaxed fits, check)
• Mango: size 12 top half, 10 bottom half (bingo — no wonder nothing fit right)

It also showed me a few styles that would naturally suit my proportions better.Suddenly, the madness made sense.

Armed with real knowledge, I headed back out — picked up the right sizes on the first try — and finally found my perfect wedding guest dress without needing emotional support afterwards.

Tellar.co.uk totally changed how I shop.

No more second-guessing.No more leaving stores feeling like a shapeshifter.

Now when I shop, I check Tellar first — and actually enjoy it again.

And the best part?It’s completely free.(Seriously, if you ever wanted a personal shopper who understands that you can be a size 8 in one store and a 14 in another — this is it.)
