The article is a bit snowflaky but the premise is about right - a size 12 in there is about an 8 in places like Next or M&S. This is something you simply learn over time and account for when shopping. It's an inconvenience but it's not psychologically damaging.

Originally posted by jds 1981 View PostIt kind of makes sense, but then sizes are always approximate. I can often get into one jean cut style but not another.
What I find quite annoying not being fat is finding jeans that fit quite well, but the waist is a couple of inches too big, often around the back door some reason?
No love, it's the cream cakes you shove down your throat that make your arse look big!
