Oh, and for anyone who may be interested, I solved the issue regarding shipping outside of France. Since the site has changed, you have to scroll down to bottom left and click 'pays de livraisons' to select your country/currency before it will allow you to go through checkout.

I also seem to have problems with the sizing at APC. I've got two long sleeve stripy t-shirts, pretty much the same, one of them is size L and fits perfectly (I'm UK size 10) and the other one is M and fits exactly the same like the mentioned L. Also, when I was buying the second top I tried on S and it fit perfectly but decided to get M in case it shrank.

Would never buy anything from APC online. I definitely prefer to try things on because of their weird sizing.

What does everyone think about the F/W collection?
I'm not totally sure if I'm disappointed or I like some pieces.

Some dresses are imho far too oldfashioned... Some look downright "cleaning woman" to me. Some skirts, shirts on the other hand look quite lovely.
I don't think they have the best stylist for their HP pictures though....

On NetAPorter, a skirt in XS is described as having a 30 inch waist, I think. This really confused me, for XS is supposed to correlate to a UK6.

Well, hey, at least their shoe sizing is stable!

Love a lot of their stuff - but HATE their sizing. I have some things in medium and some in small. Every season it changes, drives me crazy.

Lol, are you sure we do not have the same mother?

Lapin de Lune · 08-09-2011

I can now confirm that apc skirts are true to size. Unlike their blouses, shirts and dresses, in my opinion. I would say that the xs skirt is roughly a UK8.

Teja · 23-10-2011

Do they have sales online and if so, when do they start?

Aby · 24-10-2011

^not till early January I suppose

Teja · 24-10-2011

Thank you. I was hoping for Christmas sales.

Lapin de Lune · 26-10-2011

and then everything i want will be sold out

Lapin de Lune · 08-11-2011

Purchased this lovely coat, but it is too big for me

Shall have to return or sell it on. It is one of the most beautiful quality garments that I have ever worn, though, and I really wish that the sizing made sense to me (it is XS, I am a UK8 and 5'4 so can't see why it had to fail).

I keep trying to convince myself that it fits ok, but everyone who has actually seen it has said it buries me at the shoulders. The images here don't put that across so much, but it's still there...

my images.

So upset.

Aby · 08-11-2011

A pity. I agree with you about the fit at the shoulders being off, otherwise it's a beautiful and timeless coat.

softgrey · 08-11-2011

i don't know...
with a warm thick sweater under it, i think it would be good...

...

i'd wear it like that...definitely...
loose and louche...
a bit of volume always feels luxurious to me...
