We women are often so hung-up on dress sizes, and it can be a challenge for so many of us to find clothes that fit us well! It's not just the larger sizes that are a problem either - I knew a lady who took a size 10, but she had very wide hips and she had such a hard time finding clothes. She permanently lived in stretchy clothing, or had to get a friend to make alterations.
As more shops cater for curvy women, tall women, petite women and plus-size women, finding the right size and shape can be harder than ever if you don't fall neatly into one single category. More choice = more confusion!
My point is, sizes really are meaningless! If you find a brand whose clothing flatters your figure, then stick with them! (a friend of mine literally buys every top in the Roman range – she doesn't even have to try them on as she is so confident they will suit her to perfection!)
The truth is that there is NO standard system, and it's not uncommon for a woman's dress size to vary up to 3 sizes between different stores. Some brands tend to be more generous in their sizing, but don't just buy something because you like what it says on the label. It really is just a number and you are so much more than that!
We all come in different shapes and sizes. The best thing you can do is to go for styles that flatter your body shape and suit your unique personal style. You'll look and feel fabulous, and that confidence will shine through whether you're a size 8 or 18!
Confidence looks good on ANY size!
