I'm secretly just jealous of Morgan customers anyway, that's why I always used to go in, ostensibly to just see how small the clothes were,but really just to torture myself!!!

Seriously, I hear the "larger" people make comments.... "must be anoxeric" "look at the size of her makes me sick to my stomach". If I walked around saying "look at her, must be obsesse and eats like a pig" or "look at the size of her makes me sick to my stomach" (which as it happens, I don't). I'd get beaten to a pulp and frowned up on for being so... weightest. Its reverse weightism thats what it is. Everyone should be happy with what they have and not judge others.
Nobody was making small people feel bad - nobody made a post saying -
"well I'll bet Evans don't want all those skinny people wearing their clothes."
I think the point wasn't against skinny people, it was the idea that a shop would be upset that certain people wore their clothes, hence cutting off their nose to spite their face!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Oh no, quite gutted about that, I like Morgan clothing. There isn't one near me but whenever I go to manchester shopping I'd get some stuff from there. Could be quite expensive but I've got some nice stuff from there. I got a dress from there that was only £50 and my friend ripped it on our last night out...may not get another now!0

Hi I was in Morgan on saturday and asked the staff there if it was closing down, she said that they were told it was and they were all going to loose thier jobs however, they were then told that a French company had bought it and it would remain morgan and that they could keep their jobs.
Agree that the sizes are small i got a medium size top and it fits great i am normally a 12 and i cant believe that a size 10 think they are fat! wish i was a 10!!!
I guess it really depends on how you feel about your body not what size you are i think that small/ medium/big women can all look good and sexy but that is carried through from the inside

If you are trying to create and maintain a fashionable brand that people are willing to pay a premium price for, the last thing you are going to do is make sizes that allow fat people to wear your clothes.
So anyone over a size 8 is fat are they???
I'm a size 10 top with a size 12 bust. I found their size 10 tops either squeeze me flat (and therefore nearly make me pass out) or put them up under my chin :rolleyes: good riddance to them i say.

Deal with it. All these people who say oh "big is beautiful". Yeah, keep saying that if it all makes you feel better.
But size 14 is repulsive.

People like you are disgraceful.
You know it is possible to have a flat stomach and toned body even at a size 14/16 - its about the size of your frame, not about how much fat is on it! Size 8/10 may have been the Victorian ideal - but a size 12 is more like the healthy average, not too slim, not too overweight. It's all to do with your BMI, not what size trousers you can get into!0 -

That's a bit nasty, it's also wrong! First of all you can be a size 12,14,16 etc and not look FAT, like someone else says it's about your body shape more than anything.
I fit into a size 8 but have a flabby tummy, bum and thighs so in some clothes I look fat, size 8 or not!! It really is more about HOW you dress than the size of the clothes you wear...0
