Do Fashion Designers Make Their Clothes Intentionally Small?

If 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. 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. Through many years of designer clothes being available, the fact they are small sized doesn’t seem to have changed at all.

Naturally, women want to look and feel good which is why ladies designer clothes are such a popular option. 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. It is interesting to note how designer clothes are always on the small side, so whereas you might be a size UK 8 in normal clothes, you would probably have to buy a size 10 to be able to fit into it. 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.

Fashion designers have created this idealistic view of how their clothes are supposed to look and that’s why their small sized ladies designer clothes are always worn on the catwalk by very thin ladies. However, the reality is that there are many women of different shapes and sizes that still want to be able to wear the latest ladies designer clothes. Unfortunately, designers often only look at how the garment looks on the catwalk.

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. 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.
