For those of you who have shopped ASOS...

What is the fit and quality of the clothes?
I'm new to the brand and am a bit confused - their models look like they're all of 14 years old, but the price point is much different than a 'younger' site, like Forever 21. Are ASOS clothes cut in a junior's shape or a misses/women's cut? They have some really cute things, but I definitely am not in the age range of their models!

I've only purchased accessories from them so far, but I just ordered a shirt from them the other day, I can let you know when it comes in what the fit is like, but I'm shaped more like a preteen up top haha, so it might be different. I just followed their measurement guides. I will keep you updated!

I've shopped ASOS quite a bit and have found their sizing pretty accurate to their charts. They carry a number of brands, but the ASOS brand itself is pretty well made. I've noticed that they sew their zippers really close to the teeth, and while that looks great, it can be difficult to zip up.

I am thin but curvy at the same time, and I haven't had an issue with fit. I already knew my typical UK and Euro size, and I knew that I'm usually the second smallest size available (so if the smallest size available is a 2, I'm a 4, but if the smallest size available is a 0, I'm a 2). So from that information it was easy for me to figure out what size to order, and so far everything I have ever ordered has fit.

I haven't been thrilled with the ASOS brand specifically, though. I ordered two dresses some time ago and both were awful in terms of quality. But I like many of the other brands they sell, and I know some people here have had luck with them, so it might just be my bad luck.

I have ordered a skirt and a top. I used the size charts and both fit quite well. The skirt is a long red fitted knit. I like it but have only worn it once. Not sure how to dress it down for the office.

I've only ordered two items so far, a PB top and a t-shirt. For these I went up three sizes from my usual size US (ie AT size 2, Asos I got size 8). These items are new so I cannot speak on durability for their clothes yet.

Edit to add: The brand of both was A Wear

Thanks, everyone, for the replies - so helpful in deciding to take the leap and order from their site!
