To Expect Relatable Models When Shopping Online?

[JustHavinABreak]

This has probably been done to death so apologies if this is repetitive. My life circumstances are such that I very rarely have the opportunity to shop for clothes on the high street, and instead I do it online.

My grip is this: Why are most of the models 5'10 and a size 6/8? I'm a size 14 and 5'4. Not skinny but not massive either. Fully accept that I should drop a size but at my age, I'm very unlikely to become a size 6 amd almost certainly not going to grow another 6 inches.

How an item of clothing looks, hangs or sits on an unattainable body is no indication of how it would look on me.

Are you all supermodels or so you all just know some secret that I don't??

I guess a lot of online retailers barely use anything realistic looking anymore.
I like ones where they have a catwalk of the model and it tells their size. But they should do it for like 3 different sizes. I guess they can do it with tech now so they scan bodies or whatever and put the clothes on them?
I think in general for mass market fashion brands, if they have to use certain sized models in a single shot, then it's better they be more in the middle size wise. Like a 12/14, so then an 6/8 and a 16/18 both have to move a bit, that's better than most people saying they have no clue what it's gonna look like!

I think it's quite diverse these days. I've seen fat models, thin models, disabled models, models with massive birth marks. All this year. And if you look in ASOS, you'll even find men modeling bikinis 🤷🏻‍♀️ definitely diverse

Yeah but if all the trousers were made for your height, anyone over that height wouldn’t be able to wear them but at least you could take them up. More and more shops do a short, regular and tall length now.
