Skinny privellege

[Annabella91]

Why is there shops full of clothes for women who are skinnt but nothing bigger i hate going clothes literally can never find anything in a size 16 it's all size 6 and 8 is the fat back in the 90s discrimination trend coming in again?? Shouldn't need to skinny to look nice??

This is so confusing… size 16 is a standard size, and available everywhere

Even Primark goes up to size 22 now

My mum is 5'9 and a size 10 at 12 stone.

At my largest I was 23 stone and still sit into size 24 with no elastic waistbands.

People carry their weight differently.

At my smallest size as an adult at size 14 I was 16 stone.

That is why it is ultimately useless to ask people how much they weigh!

My two daughters are on the slim side they also struggle im on the bigger side lol but i dont moan and bitch about just get on with it i shop mainly online try before you buy i hate clothes shopping anyway i weird like that id rather try on in my own home. where im comfy i can take my time. I ve got my daughters wedding coming up thats going to be fun lol as i dont do dresses but im making the acception for my daughter. lol i suppose this is moaning and bitching. Sympathis all round for slim ladies and us bigger ladies

You’re joking right??! Even Primarni do bigger sizes now. I’m a size 24 and even though I prefer to shop online (I hate trying clothes on in shops) I can still go into Marks and Sparks, Primark even the clothing parts of supermarkets and find something to wear.

Dd is very tall with very long legs and arms

She shops in the childrens section for the longer lengths.

This! I always find smaller sizes like an 8 or a 10 are out of stock in shops and only bigger sizes left meaning I can’t buy what I want. Or I’ll see a lot of lovely clothes in the curve or petite ranges online that are nowhere to be seen in the usual ranges. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just saying it happens in other areas too! :)

In 1967 I was 22. My parents went on holiday and left me money.😳. I bought some lovely dresses from M&S Children's department. I'm now a hefty 22. The shops where I live do big sizes.
