Hi all,
I was just wondering how you all find different shops compare with clothing sizes - ie which you find generous and which measure up small? I am wondering if we all have similar opinions or if we are vastly different. I recently found an article on the net that seemed to be completely opposite to what I thought and said a few of the ones I found not so generous were meant to be bigger (which made me feel crap!).
So my list from most generous to tightest (of things I currently own!)goes like this:
Tesco
Peacocks (ok you can see I am being cheapo at the mo!)
Dorothy perkins
New Look
Next
H&M (which in the article had apparently made all they're clothes 2'' bigger or something?? Pah!)
The smallest sized things I own are a pair of 18 cords by some weird brand that I am still wearing at a 14...and worst of all a pair of billabong board shorts I bought years ago as the label says XXL (UK 16) and which are smaller than my pair of size 12 jeans I have as a goal!! The bl**dy cheek of it...to think how upset I got when I bought them and couldn't get them over my knee's when I was a large 16 4 yrs ago....
Not a very comprehensive list as I still won't go in loads of shops (like Topshop or River Island) because I still feel too fat
Would love to hear others opinions
