Ladies Designer Clothes And The Ongoing Sizing War
August 29th, 2010If 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. For those with curves, designer clothes can sometimes be your least best friend. Years of designer fashion creations have never really varied from the idea that they are designed for slim women, but with size 0 models promoting designer clothes these days, have things just gone a bit too far?
Naturally, women want to look and feel good which is why ladies designer clothes are such a popular option. 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. Many people do not realise that ladies designer clothes and high street fashions do vary quite a bit in sizing, so try not to get too down about the sizing issue because a size UK10 in high street could quite easily end up being a size UK 14 in designer. 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. 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.
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.
