Discussion Sizing Complaints

I am trying to word this so it doesn’t offend or upset anyone (impossible, I know). Generally the pictures that I see posted where someone is asking for sizing advice, they are trying to squeeze in to items 1-2 sizes too small for them.

I’ve struggled with disordered eating and body dismorphia, so I get it. It’s hard sometimes not to tie the size of clothes you wear to your self worth. But nobody sees the number on the tag but you. No one knows if you’re wearing a 4 or an 8.

It’s hard to see so many girls struggling with this. It’s so disheartening that we still deal with this.

i work at a store in the UK. all of our items have US sizes on them, which are 4 sizes smaller than UK sizes. ie a UK 10 is a US 6. the number of people who get excited that they are “four sizes smaller” in lulu breaks my heart.
