Hi,
Just wondered if anybody knew where i can get size 4 women clothes from. I know that you can get them from Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Asda and maybe some Tesco stores but is there anywhere else?
Thanks for any replies x

In general, European brands tend to be smaller that UK or US brands because they don't go in for vanity sizing as much.
Ooh, they are! The jeans are excellent. Zara kids, too
I have made a decision not to give a seconds thought to what size I am buying... I am a 12 trousers although very very slim, just wide waisted - I went to Jane Norman and tried on some jeans, the 12 regulars were ok in length but a bit too tight up top so tried a 14 regular, they were sooo long so got a 14 short and low n behold they fitted quite well.
Nobody could believe it when I told them they were a size 14 as everyone is convinced I am a size <10... It made me really think about people who were larger than me and how it must make them feel trying on bigger sizes...
Moral of the story - don't worry about what size it says on the label, just goes with what is comfortable for you!
Always remember not to wear your kids clothes finds to pubs with balls pits, unless you wanna match the sliding monkeys. I have had this happen before, mathcing tee shirts with someone else's kid, alright when it's your own coz that's cute but, someone else's is embarrassing.
:no: Not by a long shot, believe me!!
Jane Norman I like, the clothes fit me in a regular woman's size. As the sizes are just numbers here it is more down to individual perception of the sizes. I mean like say a top says "size 18" it's better than saying "large" as who are they to tell us what constitutes a "large" size. That said Jane Norman does get a lot of criticism about 'sizism' yet none of the other stores really get criticised for excluding smaller sized women. I think it's okay to have shops like JN where the clothes are smaller in the same way that it's good to have shops like Evans as well.
OP - I like New Look girls range (915) and also Tammy Girl at BHS. It's much easier to get small casual clothes as teenage girls still wear things like jeans. It gets a bit trickier for formal wear as some of the things I might want are things that younger girls just don't wear.
I've seen kids wearing the same things as me in shopping centres and supermarkets and stuff, but thankfully never anything more obvious!
No, I prob am!
Exactly why they do it, tbh.
Not great when you actually ARE a size 6 though, cause even the 4s in Miss S fit like 8s. :grump:
