Stupid combined size clothing 10-12 and 14-16- a mini rant

This seems to be getting more common as shops try and reduce the amount of stock they have to keep hold of and it’s bloody annoying. A 10-12 is too small, a 14-16 is too big. I need a 12-14. Or just normal regular sizing! End of rant.

Agreed! So frustrating when an item of clothing is really nice but then fits awful!

I feel your pain. Some shops do 8-10 and 12-14 which gives me the same problem.

This drives me mad all the time!!

Money saving exercise by retailers I reckon. Ordering a smaller range of sizes must be cheaper for them.

I hate it when clothes are one size. No they aren't. They are usually a 16 and swamp me.

One size is usually 16? Would love to know where you shop? In the places I go, one size is 8 or 10.

A small shop that sells random end of lines. Not far from a town that has quite a lsrge obesity problem.
