Are Ladies Designer Clothes Finally Representing Ordinary Women?
Manufacturers of ladies designer clothes have been on the receiving end of much criticism in recent months and years for their failure to reflect ordinary women in the sizing of their clothes. Obviously, catwalk models are incredibly thin, but many designers stand accused of actually shrinking their sizes! However, unrest and disapproval of the tiny sizes of ladies designer clothes in the media and amongst consumers has seemed to have some effect.
Different body shapes and sizes are increasingly accepted and catered for in both designer and high street fashion, as well as in the media generally. For example, Full Figured Fashion Week, at which over 25 designers displayed their designs and which takes place annually and was held last week in Manhattan and was covered by the New York Times. Its organizers hailed the media coverage as a step in the right direction and some speculated that the popularity of the event might prompt a rethink on sizing of ladies designer clothes.
Certainly, the plus size fashion market is growing in both the UK and the US but it would be no more accurate to claim that plus size fashions are representative of ordinary women than it is to claim that tiny ladies designer clothes sizes fit ordinary women. The real problems in the clothes market’s failure to reflect the size of ordinary women lie in the shortage of such clothes available in UK sizes 12-16, a size bracket into which most UK women fit.
Luckily, things are changing. As plus size fashion has started to impact on the fashion market, the heads of designers have been turned. Whilst ladies designer clothes are unlikely to suddenly become readily available, it’s fair to say that more and more designers are making clothes in more realistic UK sizes 12-16. This has to be good news for ordinary sized fans of fashion.
