Small Clothes

becky_rtw

Hello all you fashion lovelies I need some help :cool:

I am running a lot at the moment and getting skinner as a product of this (as you do!) and am also trying to update my wardrobe (especially workwear but its all good):)

The problem I am having is this - nothing fits :eek::rotfl::rotfl:(sorry it doesnt sound like a tough problem does it!).

I am now a size 6 on the top and size 6-8 on the bottom - bought a dress in reiss yesterday in size 6, but this got me thinking on what happens if I get any smaller - so here's where you guys can help!

What shops make their sizes smaller or do smaller sizes? I really dont know and am struggling in shops like zara - bought a shirt in XS last night and it just about fits - its a little baggy on the chest area

Please help or I'll be wearing a sack :rotfl:

Have you checked out Dorothy Perkins as they stock size 6 clothes some nice stuff in at the moment.

One of my step girls is a size 6 and she gets lots of really cool stuff in River Island.

I find DP is rather large in sizes though (like next)...

I havent been in river island for ages actually there's another to check out - I feel a bit old for those sort of shops now :rotfl::o

Have you considered teen ranges? My tiny sil, a six 6 and five foot tall, found some great jeans in a department store children's dept. My sister (five foot five) has also found well cut teen's trousers long enough, but I, about the same height but different shape when same size IYSWIM, couldn't. Its worth a try (VAT free). The ''exclusive'' departments stores are best for this sort of thing.

Nice idea but the trouble is I want classic style clothes not young looking stuff - trying to be taken seriously (I look young enough as it is :().

I have a house of fraser on my home though I could pop in and see. I'm 5'6 so may just be short enough

The designer ranges in places like Harrods do have surprisingly ''grown up'' stuff, a lot that could pass in a very serious corporate environment...but at kids clothes prices. Its not cheap as cheapest hig hstreet, but a lot cheaper than similar adult clothes. I would argue if you CAN find the right thing that fits, then you'll look more adult, and chic.

I have slightly shorter legs than the average woman and I find the teen sizes in
New Look and Mark One and Internationalle for trousers and jeans etc have a great fit round the waist and I am an average size 8 . You can get the longer length ones if you dont have a short leg length { and they normally are the ones on sale too }

River Island Are also great for smaller fittings as some jeans are really small waisted .
Top Shop Is another good store in there Petite sizes can find some slim fitted ones


Have a look on the sale rails as I find sometimes you get a great bargain and loads of slim sizes on these rails

I live round the corner from Harrods *makes note to pop in*

What floor is it on - I always get lost in there?!?
