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!!

Plus size women fashion tips: What not to wear – Part 6

What not to wear if you’re a plus size?

The first and most important rule when you are buying clothes is that you should only buy something that makes you feel good. Everybody knows that when you put on an outfit you love, then you’ll light up, you act a certain way and you carry yourself a certain way, but if you put on some make-do’ clothes that you don’t like then the reverse happens, and it shows.

So, if you take something out of your wardrobe or off the clothes rack in a store and you don’t enjoy putting it on, then that is a sure sign you shouldn’t be wearing it, no matter what the price tag says. That would be my first fashion tip to everybody, regardless of size.

The next tip, only reveal the amount of skin you are honestly comfortable with revealing, don’t wear a mini-skirt just because it’s in fashion unless you honestly feel good in it and then if you do you will wear it well. The same goes for showing off your cleavage or tummy, if it’s really and truly you then go for it, otherwise wear something else.

Color, we can’t all wear every color going, so again if the color doesn’t do something for you, then don’t wear it, it should compliment your skin tone and hair color. We all know that black can be very slimming and if that’s what you feel good in then wear it and a splash of color can make all the difference, a shirt, scarf or accessories can transform an outfit very quickly.

Good quality, well cut clothing for plus size women can be quite expensive but it would be worth buying a few items that you really feel good in and then buying plenty of cheap accessories to create different looks.

Finally, another tip for all women, it’s important to have good fitting underwear as these can often make or break an outfit, there’s nothing to spoil an outfit more than graying bra straps falling off shoulders, so invest well in this department.
