Clothing sizes are getting ridiculous Let me preface this by saying I'm not small. I'm very thin, but I'm 5'9 so often shop in the tall section for my clothes. Unfortunately, it seems that most shops have started making their tall clothes wider. This is fucking asinine, I need longer stuff, not wider! It's bad enough that most places don't stock below a UK size 8 (US 4 I think), but now the size 8s are huge as well. I remember when I was about fifteen, four or so years ago, buying size 8 clothes that fit me fine, but now whenever I try on a size 8 it's huge! I've had to go down to UK 6 or 4 even. Has anyone else in the UK had the same experience? Has vanity sizing got so bad even in the last 4 years?
