No matter what I picked up in store, I could immediately tell what would fit my chest and what wouldn't. I was picking up my usual sizes, and while every other aspect of the clothes looked like it would definitely fit, the chest area was tiny.
Over the last few months, I've bought trousers in my normal size and it's been no issue, I've even sized down in jeans recently. Initially, when I noticed this, I started thinking it was me, that I just must have put on weight. But when I saw others having the very same issue, I quickly realised it was an industry issue.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having a smaller chest, in fact, I wish I had one, but suddenly having to go up a size in a top only for it to be baggy on my waist and still too tight on my chest... when did that happen?
Finding clothes to fit anything bigger than an A cup seems virtually impossible if you're shopping on the high street. And that's of course no fault to anyone who is that size.
It's down to these brands to understand that there are hundreds of different body types, and that includes boob size and shape.
The body positivity and inclusion movement is getting there, we've seen so many improvements in the fashion industry over the last 10 years, so why does it feel like we're going backwards in this area?
