As I was walking through Dorothy Perkins this afternoon looking for dresses, I realised that i would never fit into one of their size 18's just by looking at it! which makes me wonder, what size actually am I? My wardrobe contains clothes ranging from 14-22. So on average from my wardrobe I am an 18. So why is it not consistent? So I am on a mission to explore the high street, compare clothing and see which stores really meet my measurements.
Primark was my first stop tonight after spotting a pretty black lacey dress in the window. It has been a while since I have visited Primarni as it is a highly stressful experience at the best of times but 5pm on a Friday night I can deal with. So I hunted down the dress and found a rail load full of them, but was disappointed to find that they were mostly 8's and 10's, with a few 12's and 14's. Dismayed, I was about to walk away, but then decided to double check and low and behold found a size 18! Later at home I tried it on. Although it was lovely and loose on the waist, my 38F regions were struggling to fit above the fitted waistband. After a bit of jiggling and with a bolero I made it look acceptable, but its not the perfect fit. Bargain at 15 quid though so I'm not grumbling!
Anyhow, until my next purchase. Happy shopping! xxx
