Why everywhere that advertises sizes 10-32 always use models who are no larger than a 12? |

Chris I so agreee with you. New Evans advert on the telly, is using young striplings to model the clothes. Very unfair, and misleading. I want to see someone my age and size modeling the clothes. |

Size 12 is pushing it, try 8 or 10! They don't have a bust or child bearing hips, their waists are probably the size of my thigh and can wear horizontal stripes!!!! |

And do they think ladies over 70 aren't interested in fashion/hairstyles? |

So annoying when you are an odd shape...or may I say, a 'normal shape' |

And why do all manufacturers of +size clothes assume we want to wear clothes with lots of sequins (really!!!) and are never over 5ft tall. |

I dont like hipster style trousers. I keep wanting to hitch them up to my waist, but then they cut into my crotch and just wont stay there. At least in the Hospice shop where I work I have found some trousers that are a good fit, and at a very good price. As for tops, I have some that are size L, some XL, others XXL. My figure doesnt keep changing when I put a different size on. And at my age I dont like plunging necklines that show my wrinkled and moley neck! Not that I like an extra high neckline either. |

Then there is a well known shopping channel that has it's own sizing for ladies clothes. |

American sizes are lower than ours. Their size zero is our size 6. |

Scozz, I dont think one foot is bigger than the other, at least not noticeably so. I just have high insteps (or is it wide feet?) and need to buy bigger sizes so I can get my feet into them. For this reason I like wearing trousers, so that I can wear running shoes. Forget about dainty fashion shoes for me. As for high heels, I would probably break my neck wearing such things. |
