Small women

[Sharzilla Moog]

This ain't the most current of issues, but wasn't there a bit of a hooha when George at Asda decided to stock UK size 4 (US size 0)? Clothes for large women seem easier to find in this country. I hate going into a shop at 4pm to find that anything below size 10 are taken. I'm a UK size 6 but I'm not a rail, and I eat more than Les the bassist. With immigration and hence more variety of women with sizes that come below (or above) the Western average, there is a genuine case for smaller sizes in shops. Bring it on!

It's just as hard for us "slim" men - most clothes shops start at 30" waist for trousers, which is no good for me as I'm a 28" waist. Then t-shirts are a problem 'cos small on me looks like a tent. Only places like TopMan seem to have XS - which fits me lovely.

Sadly retailers are going to continue the focus on larger sizes because we are a nation of lazy, junk food eating fatties!

well yeh its about time isn't it? and it isn't just the asians who may be smaller, i've seen lots of non asian girls who are definitely UK6s or less.

anyway how are you love? Am i the first non band member - member of this err network page? ha Hope you are well hun. How was singapore?

robmacca: i think ben sherman does lots of XS-s too. But an english friend told me only crap people wear Ben sherman in the uk. true?

I agree with what Rob said - sometimes I buy childrens sizes. Although they don't fit. So I'm just an idiot.

Hahhahahaa Fidel

What stuff does Ben Sherman do? Is it non-chav gear for chavs? (I know it only from the Argos catalogue.) Rob, you need to eat :)

Ling: Singapore is great. I re-found my dislike for air conditioning! I miss you...

I eat loads of crap so should be a bit fat - but can't put weight on no matter how badly I eat.

You won't see me in Ben Sherman gear, I'm far too un-cool for all that clobber.

I have bought one or two t-shirts from the kids section of a certain retailer for ages 9 - 10 yrs and they fit rather nicely.
