Some shoppers have taken to review website TrustPilot to share their thoughts on River Island, particularly when it comes to large sizing, so it might be worth keeping this in mind when ordering online. One person said: “Lovely quality but not great sizing.”
Another wrote: “The quality of most clothes I’ve tried on are good… but the sizing is HUGE!! I recently bought some new UK size 6 shorts, skirts, jeans and trousers and they slid down my hips and legs! They wouldn’t stay on my hips! The dress was huge on me too! I’ve had to return most of the order (kept the UK size 4 items).”
