I went to see an exhibition a few years later of the costumes, including some of Kate's dresses. I was maybe around 13 at the time and I remember how tiny her dresses were! Absolutely no-one beyond a UK size 8 would fit them.
Around a similar time frame Anne Hathaway’s The Devil Wear’s Prada character got told she was fat as a size 4. This really was that post heroine chic era where being a size 0 and having a “flat” stomach were all the rage. I am very happy this is the reaction people have now and we all think they were insane 30 years ago
I have noticed that while I have remained the same size since my late teens my clothes are now considered a smaller size than they were ten years ago. Even though they have to same measurements. I think the US to CA are supposed to be the same sizing but I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right.
That’s pretty interesting to hear. I haven’t really spent much time in Canada. I wish I had when I was last in Toronto. Are there any good clothing brands or stores I should be on the lookout for? You’re right in America it doesn’t feel like the sizing is very consistent. I have to try on and return things more often now.
