    iv just started making clothing and so far most of them have been skinny bitch sizes like myself.
    I wanted to make some stuff for other sizes, adn if you didnt mind telling me could I ask what your sizes are so I can create more clothes to fit people

    American 14-20... no lie. It's really erratic. Generally I reach for a size 16 or XL though.

    Props to you for making clothes in a variety of sizes - very good to see! So much clothes round here is only available in stick-insect sizings, or if it is larger, it's just an ugly, cheaply made sack. On the news they're telling us how obestity's so common - so why isn't anyone making nice clothes for all the larger people? It's gotta be a goldmine!

    By 'stick insect', I don't mean any disrespect to naturally thin people - but I see lots of new lines only stocked in size 8 and 10, which I feel is the very small end of the healthy female size range.

    My details are probably no use to you, since I don't know the conversion between UK/US/Aus sizings, but I'm 16/18/20.

    thanks ethel.
    i totally know what you mean, im a UK size 10-12 but if you go into some ofthe boutiques around here you haveto be freakishly thin to fit into them properly, and almost completely shapeless and flat chested :p

    I love that everyone is a different chape and size and we shouldnt only focus on one type of women i.e the girls in the magazines.

    :)

    Iv made a pair of pants that are fairly roomy prob about a size 14 (UK)
    they are africa print.

    Arlia, I especially see more natural, "hippy" type clothing in really small sizes...it's almost as if the manufacturers think only really thin women look good in them. Thanks for branching out!! I'm a size 12-14, depending on the cut, fabric, etc.
