Ladies Designer Clothes And The Never-Ending Sizing Battle
If you’re someone that isn’t stick thin and yet still likes to look good, it can be hard finding ladies designer clothes that fit you perfectly. It’s a good thing if you have curves, but fashion designers don’t seem to think like that and that’s why their clothes always run much smaller than high street labels. Through many years of designer clothes being available, the fact they are small sized doesn’t seem to have changed at all.
Naturally, women want to look and feel good which is why ladies designer clothes are such a popular option. But the fact is, if you’re curvaceous, designer fashion can be very unflattering. Women are spending more time trying to find a designer that actually makes clothes in their size so they can feel good about themselves. It is interesting to note how designer clothes are always on the small side, so whereas you might be a size UK 8 in normal clothes, you would probably have to buy a size 10 to be able to fit into it. There are even many genuinely slim women who get frustrated with designer clothes and the small sizing.
Fashion designers create their garments slightly smaller because their intention is clearly to see them on stick-thin models. Now would be a good time for fashion designers to realise that women come in all shapes and sizes and their designer creations can still look just as good on someone slightly larger. Designers often only concentrate on how the garment looks down the catwalk, not realising that real women wear the pieces too.
There is a glimmer of hope though, in that there are many fashion designers now creating pieces that do cater for the real woman and sizing doesn’t run small with all brands. Juicy Couture, for example, used to run particularly on the small side, but now a Juicy size Large will comfortably fit a UK 12 or 14, so maybe other designers will start following suit too.
