Only went in BA's new uniform a few months age after many years with the company---points to think about when you get fitted---
1. Girls- Make sure you can move your ams in the jackets as they are very slim on the back.
2. Sizes are "strange" --i am an M&S 10 but had uniform in a mix of sizes ranging from a 4 to an 8 !!!
3. Waist bands are a little snug (but big on the hips) so remember you tummy swells after long flights.
4 . You can get away without irioning the shirts if you use extra fabric conditioner and tumble dry them.
5 . Girls Trousers are made for people with tiny waists and huge hips. Easy to alter---just turn them inside out and hack away at side and back seems.
6.. Whatever you do dont leave uniform stores without a large handfull of spare buttons or sew all the buttons you have got on again.
7.. Last but not least--many people are washing skirts and trousers on a wool wash.
Enjoy!!!
