Women’s Clothes

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Women’s Clothes What Clothes size am I So what are the rules about the clothing industry standardisation of sizes? Nothing? Times have changed since the definition of women’s fashion clothes, sizing of the 1950’s fashion style; and no one within the British clothing industry has made any effort to change the fact that men and women have physically changed? Instead The United Kingdom has an existing standard for women’s clothing BS 3666:1982, however this is rarely followed by manufacturers as it defines sizes in terms of hip and bust measurements only within a limited range. This has resulted in variations between manufacturers and a tendency towards vanity sizing. Instead what has happened in the fashion industry is that Europe has become more aware of these changes and so has adopted to these the changes of measurement sizes and as a result we now have more of women’s fashion Boutiques on the high street from Europe. Size ten in clothing for instance, gives a different fitting with the style you choose? Confusing?? Size ten in a designer fashion clothes will not be the same looking on women of size 14?? Retailers don’t make women’s fashion clothes to compliment people of different body shapes? By adopting similar methods of European measuring, we were able to create bespoke (one-off) clothes, which will fit you within the scope of the measuring guide we have adopted? As long as long as a you use the measuring size guide, we have provided via our site then we are confident that our clothing will compliment and fit your figure, and not as most clothing out there being sold, that try to “pigeon slot” you into ONE SIZE fits ALL culture!!
