Celebrities are a different "size" than the rest of us

Nope, I still wear junior sizes. I have a hip/waist ratio which does not conform to lady sizes...they all bag at the waist.

This is why I wear designer. 27 in waist and 40 in hips.

They give Christina Hendricks **** for her "size". For the Emmy Awards a few years ago, she had trouble finding a designer who was willing to fit her with a dress. She had been turned away by I can't remembered how many. They didn't carry samples in her size, or didn't want to design for someone as "big" as her. To me, that women is absolute perfection, and those designers were out of their mind. I'm glad she hasn't caved to the fat shaming she's endured.

What the heck? If I had her body I'd walk around naked all the time.

For real! That woman is a goddess! She is like my idol!

I have never noticed or thought about it. I don't care what size people wear. I mostly just care about finding a size that fits me well in the store.

Have you ever seen a popular female celebrity in real life? They are crazy thin. To the point that they are so tiny most people would stare/point if they were just walking around your town. To the point that they look small/short even if they're 5'10"...they're just SO skinny. TV/movies make everyone look way bigger. For this reason, I DO believe some of these celebs when they look kind of "big" and claim to be a size 6. Size 6 is on the normal side so next to 00 surreally perfect figures they probably do like 12s. Meh. Just my opinion after seeing a handful of young thin female celebs who were tinier in person than I'd ever imagined.

Nah, they just have the bling to get custom items.

It drives me crazy when celebrities lose weight and reveal that they are now a size 4 or 6, when they clearly are an 8 or 10 (if only because of spanx). Do you think that:
A. the people that dress them lie about the sizes they're putting them in, B. they buy ritzy clothes that are deliberately sized smaller than they really are, or C. they're lying.
Does this bother anyone but me?

If this is true that they are 8\10, *sigh* .. I just don't see me the same sized as a celeb and yet that is my size. Some might very well be 0s or I've heard of the '00'
(double zero) ,no myth, I've heard from sources that they run tiny.

I just find sizing frustrating cos it makes online clothes shopping sooooo much harder. Well all shopping. Even within the same store/brand I can fluctuate a size or two. It's actually ridiculous. At my current size I am wearing clothes that range from NZ size 8 to size 18. Sometimes at the same time. It's ridiculous. The number means nothing.

I'm struggling with my middle still due to pcos but I am just like you. I shop a lot in the juniors departments, mostly because the items fit so much better.
