If you’re a lady that is slightly larger than a size UK 12, you might be seemingly perturbed by the reality of ladies designer clothes always verging on the small side. It’s a good thing if you have curves, but fashion designers don’t seem to think like that and that’s why their clothes always run much smaller than high street labels. 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?

Of course, all women want to look their best and ladies designer clothes have a great impact on our self-confidence. But the fact is, if you’re curvaceous, designer fashion can be very unflattering. Women are spending more time trying to find a designer that actually makes clothes in their size so they can feel good about themselves. Something else worth bearing in mind is the size discrepancy between high street clothes and ladies designer clothes from the top brands – you could be a size UK 10 in high street but suddenly find you’re a size UK 14 in designer. 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.

It is clear that fashion designers make their clothes slightly smaller so that they look their very best when on the catwalk and being worn by the very 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. It is sad that many fashion designers only envisage slim women wearing their clothes.

But let’s not get too down about this, as there is a glimmer of hope out there with some fashion designers now catering for women who are slightly larger. 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.
