George at Asda Selling UK Size 4?

2886

I've yet to see this for myself, but rumour has it that George at Asda has become the latest retailer to start stocking clothes in a UK size 4. There was mucho fuss when Topshop and Miss Selfridge started doing this last month, but where the Arcadia group leads, others tend to follow, so it will be interesting to see if the tiny size 4 does start to become a common sight in stores across the land. Lord knows size 6's are like gold dust most of the time so I can't really see it happening myself, but if it does, you can be sure that poor old Victoria Beckham will no doubt get the blame...

Anyone been to Asda, lately? Are they really selling "clothes for miniscules", as BB's Nikki puts it?

yes its true. Although i dont think it is that bad. The reason i am saying this is because i am 12 years old but 13 in feb, but thats not the point, i am small, so all my friends wear all the designer or fashionable clothes in the womens section but i am stuck in simple kids clothes! I can fit into the rare occasional adults stuff but thats it. Picture me-- i am about 4ft6/7 i have a 22inch waist and i have approx. 26inch legs. I think it is good that they have started size 4s because i can fit into most of their clothes and they are fashionable. By the way the clothing range that do them is G21. I was struggling for a decent-looking-teenage bikini to wear in the summer but when i saw great bikinis in there i was real happy so now me and my mates could even get matching- lol. I think it is good that small kids of my age get to be fashionable. Oh, and by the way i am not anorexic or anything like that it is just the way i am, my build. I think that there should be a shop for small teens because the amout of teens who are small is growing, or people should start and sell size 4s with leg length options eg. regualar, small, long etc.

Just thought id let you know!!

love

Has noone EVER thought that there are little people about who would like to be able to go shopping without looking in the kids section!? I am 25 and at 5'1" and nearly 8 stone I am a perfectly normal size for my stature, it isn't my fault that I'm a small build and was happy the other day to be able to buy my first smart skirt ever which fits me well.. go topshop! Although I used to fit perfectly into a size 6 and when I was 18 could fit fairly well into a size 8, maybe if companies stopped making sizes bigger to appease self conscious women everywhere then there wouldn't be as much of a fuss...

I'm so glad to see a forum with people NOT constantly complaining about size 4.

Size 4, to my knowledge is a US size 0 or possibly slightly smaller.

I don't understand all this fuss about size 4.

I'm 15, 5"6 and size 4, I don't quite understand why shops should be getting complaints because they stock clothing for people of my build?

Where's the crime in that?

And the way they market it as "petit" for shorter people is beyond me too, tall people can be naturally slim as well as shorter people.

I think this might be to just avoid even more hassle in the media.

Maybe people would understand if there was more hassle for selling much much larger sizes, as being "encouraged to be dangerously overweight by larger sizes" is surely, more life-treatening than being underweight?

when will people realize that bodies come in all shapes and sizes. thin, fat and everything in between. what makes a shop selling a size 4 worse than a shop selling a size 14?

everyone needs clothes that fit, so sell all the sizes !
