Tuesday, 20 December 2011  Dear Urban Outfitters...  Dear Urban
Outfitters,              Lauren (or 'XL' to you)     1. I can
confirm that Urban Outfitters sizing is just as skewed for the
XS portion of the world. I speak from having bought a lovely
polka dot dress in my wardrobe which I got without trying on due
to assuming that my size would, y'know, fit. Alas it is £50 of
unworn material, as it doesn't zip up at the front. It's just
odd. The sizing across the high street has absolutely no
relevance to girls in the real world.      Don't even get me
started on jeans and leggings, where every size 8 girl is
assumed to have skinny giraffe legs. Drives me bonkers.    2.
Maybe I'm cynical but I think this is a conscious decision by
Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Topshop and the other stores
that do the same. They don't want fat girls wearing their
clothes. That's what it comes down to. They want their brands
associated with the most chic, hip, stylish women - and in our
culture that means thin. You're righ
