ok, really don't want to be the fat girl whinging about clothes sizes

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

BUT..
WTF?? went into a shop this weekend with my friends one 8 months pregnant but a size 8 pre pregnancy and the other a size 8-10 currently.

they tried on various things but the clothes that they bought (with the non pregnant friend trying them on fo the pregnant friend) were sizes m and l the s and xs were far too small.

now I know I live in planet fat girl but really? since when did a size 8-10 equate to either m or l??

I've forwarded a link to this thread to my gorgeous nieces (12 & 15) as I think it's actually quite revealing for them.

Hollister sizes are ridiculously small. The clothes are aimed at 13yo, or people who have the body shape of a 13yo. Abercrombie & Fitch are the same (same company).

White Stuff and Kew, conversely, have ridiculous vanity sizing I am normally a size 12, but can be size 8 in White Stuff. Really annoying if you're ordering stuff online I wish companies wouldn't do it.
