Do Fashion Designers Make Their Items Deliberately 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. 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?

Naturally, women want to look and feel good which is why ladies designer clothes are such a popular option. The truth is though, many women that have curves genuinely struggle to get into designer clothes because of the small sizing and it makes them feel despondent. Women are spending more time trying to find a designer that actually makes clothes in their size so they can feel good about themselves. Many people do not realise that ladies designer clothes and high street fashions do vary quite a bit in sizing, so try not to get too down about the sizing issue because a size UK10 in high street could quite easily end up being 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.

Fashion designers create their garments slightly smaller because their intention is clearly to see them on stick-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. The ever-popular Juicy Couture used to be one for making clothes very small, but a Juicy size Large is now perfect for a UK14, so fingers crossed other brands follow suit.
