A fashion trend may emerge with single piece of cloth wore by some celebrity such as a movie star in a particular scene of a movie attracting maximum eyeballs. For some times, that piece of cloth and designs similar to it reach the peak of demand in the market and the garment stores. Then suddenly something new attracts people and the previous one is left out in the dark corner. Trendy clothes certainly add glamour to the look of people but in the world but the trends change so quickly that it becomes difficult for one to keep him/her updated with the new trends.

Finding clothes to buy that fit you can be a real pain, clothing sizes can change depending on which shop you are in, and some can even vary within the same shop given style and manufacturer! Some shops equate a UK size 12 with a European 40 others with a 38. The bad news is that clothes sizings have changed consistently from decade to decade and getting the sizes right on vintage clothes is even more challenging than those on the high street today.

The standard UK clothes sizings that we know today – sizes 10, 12, 14 etc, were brought in during the 1960s. Prior to this a normal size for womens clothing would be considered to be a size 34, and this would mean a 34″ bust and a 36″ hip. Waist sizes differed but would generally be smaller than the average waistline today. Outsize clothes were considered to be over 42″ for a waist measurement.

Here are the sizes and relative measurements as described by the British Standard 3666(1981), the size designation of womens wear:

Size     Hips From     To                 Bust From     To

8          83cm/32.7″ 87cm/34.3″       78cm/30.7″ 82cm/32.3″

10        87cm/34.3″ 91cm/35.8″       82cm/32.3″ 86cm/33.9″  Read more... (1282 words, 1 image, estimated 5:08 mins reading time)

For a woman, being pregnant can be a difficult and wonderful time. Her body shape and size are changing rapidly and she may no longer feel like she looks like her old self.

That has changed and now maternity clothing is very similar to clothing that women can find when they are not expecting.
