Do Fashion Designers Make Their Garments Intentionally Tiny?

by skwriter on June 26, 2010

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. Curvy ladies can sometimes turn their backs on designer clothes because they know there won’t be anything available in their size. In all the years that designer fashion has been available, there seems to have been one common theme, and that’s that the clothes are small sized.

We all want to look and feel good and ladies designer clothes are often the best way for women to do this. The truth is though, many women that have curves genuinely struggle to get into designer clothes because of the small sizing and it makes them feel despondent. 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. Many slim women will agree that designer clothes aren’t over-generous with their sizing, and this often prompts many women to try and lose weight so they can fit into their favourite ladies designer clothes.

Fashion designers have created this idealistic view of how their clothes are supposed to look and that’s why their small sized ladies designer clothes are always worn on the catwalk by very thin ladies. The reality though is quite different, and fashion designers must realise that not every lady is so slim, yet can still make the designer clothes look beautiful. Unfortunately, designers often only look at how the garment looks on the catwalk.

Luckily, this is not the end, and there are some fashion designers that are making their clothes a ‘true’ size UK 12 for example, meaning real women can fit into their pieces finally. One brand, Juicy Couture, used to be well known for making small clothes, but their sizing is much more ‘true to size’ these days, which bodes well for other brands potentially doing the same.
