So are there no people left in this world that are size 12 to 14?, can only buy 10 to 12 or 14 to 16, discrimination it is, Ill either have to lose some weight or gain some:mad2::mad2:

I'm always having this trouble :rolleyes:

You'd think the buyers might have worked out that if they buy more of that size, their profits might rise :confused:
The shops I went in today dont even do that size, you either have to have one too small or too big:(:(:(

I buy the biggest dressing gowns I can find.....does for those cold winter nights in the garden with the furkids.....always have a hood too....to keep my ears warm on cold nights. Im a chilly person that loves layers:D

possibly Peacock? remember thay are ab it on the small side...so 14 is ok for nightgown if you are a 12...
or get one really big, big one ...for you and Alfie....:)
Scrip always weaves into my nightdress...poor baby ..cold when temps go under 25 C!


Bon Marche (no offence meant!) is on big side and 12 does the job and their nightdresses although tradicional..are warm...and pjs not that bad at all...(if you fan of good,old flannel in leopard print):001_cool:

I was thinking this the other day. Then I think I found out why!

It used to be 8-10, 12-14, 16-18 and so on ... but if you notice there is a new size 6 being adding to the shelves!
So it is now 6-8, 10-12, 14-16, 18-20 and so on. Just to even it all out a bit :thumbsup:

I am riled by it because I am a 12 bottom half and 14 top half, so the 12-14 used to be great for me and most dressed with this double size were great, but now I have to get 10-12 and 14-16 and the difference is massive, so I look like a Im squeezed to death on the legs and being swamped on the top :rolleyes: dress sizes are a no go and I have to buy skirts and tops instead which make me feel old because thats what my Nan always wore, skirts and tops.

Wrap dresses are great for me with my mismatched top/bottom!

Im a size 8 but i love a huge dressing gown on me like a 20 that will wrap around and all snuggly in the cold.
I also get mens jogging bottoms and sweatshirts for indoors/dogwalking as they are great length as im quite tall.

I've got the opposite problem - if it weren't for my tits I'd be a 12. As it is I'm a 16 on the top so everything that fits me up here swamps me down there!!
Oh well i love my boobs i'm a size 18 on top 'cos of them, it's just the fat arse that i don't like so much

Well in my case I left it in 1989! :D I blame it on having a baby!! 22 years later I'm STILL carrying the baby weight :lol:

Sizing sux!! I have items in my wardrobe from years back like m & s jeans in a size 12 that fit like a dream but nowadays their size "12" is closer to a 14 and I'm no bigger!! What is going wrong? I honestly think the "new size 14" is the old 12.

Most men I know like a bit of cleavage and a bit of meat to grab hold of. Don't knock what you've got just hide the bits you don't like ie your big hips but enhance the bits you do like ie your boobs! V neck jumpers are great and bootleg jeans.

This is so true!!!! This is why I shop at ASDA! They don't do the 10-12 nonsense. They do individual sizes.

Another bug bear of mine is belted dresses. The belt never actually sits on the waist like it should but up on my ribs but its ok cos that's my slimmest part lol.
