uk size 4

[Goodsoulette]

no, not shoes.. dress size. How many people do you know this slim? I went shopping im Asda and they have started knocking this size out. I know one person who wears a size 6 but she is 4ft9, a few more maybe a size 8. I know of more people a size 24 (ish at a guess) than I do a 4.

The only person I know that a 4 is too big on them is my brother-in-laws girlfriend.She is 18,5ft7 and seriously,a 6 falls down and a 4 is still a tad loose!!

Its for all the oversized children nowadays that dont fit into child sizes.

[wolf63]

we are talking UK sizes here aren't we! I thought size 8 was tiny.

Some people are naturally thin, but most of us are a bit more padded out. I have way too much padding.

[cascarelli]

Anyone under size 8 you put them in the garden and grow your runner beans up 'em

Only rotting corpses are skinny enough to dress in a size 4.

Blimey, I dont think I've been a size 4 since I was that age!

[Goodsoulette]

You lot are mean skinny bashers.

[Goodsoulette]

Exactly boo!! I have got a 14yr old cousin who is suprt slim and she is a size 8 and just shy of 5ft. How thin is it I dont think the trousers would have gone past my knees. I stared at them with them in my hand fascinated for hours, people must have though I was deluded waling round with a size 4 in hand.

Hang on now sexyrussian is a size 4 when she's not pregnant

Also there is more people with eating disorders than there has ever been, so maybe shops have to accomodate for these people now.

It's all this emphasis on being slim, with tv/film stars setting a bad example. Glamour and gossip magazines are crammed with new fad diets.

I'm currently trying this new whiskey diet. I've lost 3 days already. :o)

Apparently, the girl in this picture is a Brit size 4. I wasn't that skinny when I was eleven. Does anybody else think she actually looks ill?

Love the diet, Champagne!

[Goodsoulette]

to be honest she doesnt look as sketal as I would have imagined. If I woke up tomorrow that skinny I wouldnt mind but shopping for clothes would be limited.

[China Doll]

Good grief... that doesn't look too healthy! Mind you, suppose we're all build differently.

[EMS86]

And i thought i was skinny being a size 8 and i'm underweight for my height (5ft4")

[PinkFizz]

The brother-in -laws g/f that I was talking about is much much thinner than that pic - infact I would say she is the same frame as my 6 yr old son - dreadful!!

I noticed in Gap the other day on the sale rack they had Size 2 jeans!! - and yes this is english size not american, because the american was right next to it.
you must be really stick thin to fit into them!! they also had size 4 jeans too.

OMG this trend for skeletal bodies is freaking me right out! Not long ago I was a size 10 , I'm 5ft 9 and some idiot guy said I was too fat. I was struggling like hell to remain a size 10 as my natural size is a curvy size 14.This idiot and all the girls around me starving themselves made me wake up and I purposely went up to my natural size 14(this is considered huge nowadays, it's ridiculous).I'm fit and much healthier than before,and my partner absolutely loves my curves now.I don't worry constantly about how big I am or how much I've eaten. Now if I want it I have it and I've never been happier with myself.So any women who are starving themselves to be in the cult of the super skinny, stop being sheep, just be yourself, happiness is much more than a dress size!

[missjef]

i just think the thin trend nowadays is terrible, especially in magazines because on one side of a front cover they'll be slamming someone for being too skinny, but then on the otherside they'll be complainin that someones too fat!! its ridiculous.
i posted a question a while ago which was to say that size 16 is the average size for a woman, so why is it that this is percieved as being "big" & all the the +size ranges all start from size 16 - which if that is the average size then thats stupid!!!

I think Nicole Richie looks awful. I only have one friend who is very skinny and she's only 5'1" and she's between a UK size 6-8. Even she looks too tiny at times!

I'm 5'6" and I've only ever slimmed down to a size 8 once in my life. It was accidental really because I was about 18 years old and was eating lots of fresh fruit and salads and hadn't really considered the consequences. I felt perfectly healthy, but hated that my clothes stopped fitting me and my hips were boney. I made a point of eating more bread, pasta etc. straight away and went back to my normal weight. A friend later told me that she thought I looked ill.

Really can't imagine being a 6, let alone a 4!
