| Ok, so, today I popped to town. I decided to go into Miss Selfridge. I managed to get through the doors without being ambushed by the, 'you are wayyyyy to old to be shopping in here' gang, aka as the staff. Then I noticed that they stock SIZE 4 clothes!!!! When did that happen? Surely Size 4 is NOT a healthy weight? |

| yeah I was going to say I think its for young teenage girls, though that in itself is quite sad as im sure some of the styles arent really suitable for that age. |

| Snoopy, you are right, some of the clothes are defo not something you would want your 12/13 year old daughter wearing. I was just so surprised! We are watching 'stop pimping our kids' on tv now... James is getting worried about the girls, lol! x |

What height are you kenty? Im seriously starting to worry about you dieting. Are you making sure you are sticking to a healthy weight goal. All the pics iv seen of you recently you look like you have a lovely, very toned, slim figure. Dont be over doing it! x |

| I've seen size 4 in asda before too and it definitely wasn't aimed at 13-14 year kids, it was in that 21 range |

| Blimey! Im an 8 and as you all know I feel way way too thin. I can't get anywhere near most 6s, and wouldnt be able to breathe in them - so a 4 must be so small |

| Jesus if you're not a 6 Lisa then I think people who are a 4 must be seriously ill they're that tiny. I know some people are just petite all over and naturally slim but again I wouldn't expect them to be smaller than a 6! |

| I suppose it might be for short people - cos its all to do with the frame..Im average at 5'5" but imagine someone who is 5' and as slim as me, they'd have a smaller frame wouldnt they? |

| I know a lot of Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese) women are that small but they are really petite all over so it makes sense.
I look ill if I ever get to a 10!
Laura - I can't go in Miss Selfridge anymore because I swear they deliberately play awful music to keep the oldies out. |

All the pics iv seen of you recently you look like you have a lovely, very toned, slim figure. Dont be over doing it! x i'm 5ft 6 so there is no way my frame will ever let me get to a size 4! i have a healthy weight goal 8 1/2st...but i'll settle for 9 if i can't hit that(am at 9st 9 at mo) no need to worry about me hun...tbh i'm aware i'm obsessive about it(i burn at least 1300cals a day and only eat about 1600 in total so i tend to be on negative calories) but i'm nowhere near unhealthy oh and thankyou...but pics are deceptive |

| everywhere seems to stock 4 and 6 now. they look like pretend clothes. when I was a teen the smallest you could get was 8, and that was considered tiny. |

| I wish they'd stocked size 4/6 when I was a teen, size 8 was so far to big for me it was embarrasing, untill I was 18 I had to get my clothes in childrens sizes or wear really baggy clothes (it was the 90's and I was in to grunge so that was my favored option!) I was a late developer, I didn't start my period's until I was nearly 16 so I had a childs frame, I used to shop in Tammy Girl for nice clothes, how sad is that!
On the plus side tho I got ID'd yesterday so I've obviously kept my youthfull looks, even if they were thinking I looked under 25 I'm happy with that lol! |
