Designer Clothes Size Yl And 14-16?

[bucci]

Tips anyone?

Any cool designers that manufacture these sizes?

I find a lot of cool clothes sizes s,m but they are way to big for me. I fit
perfectly into YL and 14-16 though. But noone seems to be manufacture those
sizes.

I do a lot of second hand shopping, but sometimes it would nice to buy
something NOT used.

I hear Helmut Lang makes kind of slim clothes, haven't checked that out yet.

There was an article about this very subject in one of the British papers about 3 months ago. They sent a reporter to many of the designer boutiques to find out what sizes were carried. If I remember correctly the largest size found was a 12 and that was in only 2 shops. If I can find the article archived I will post it.

Yeah, most designers actually carry up to (what they call) a size 12 US... But in all honestly, a lot of these clothes (esp. Dior from personal experience) are cut quite small so a 12 is usually about an actual US 8-10.

I believe she is asking for very small sizes. YL= Youth Large, and 14 and 16 are the largest sizes in girls.

Well then she should have no problem wearing "high fashion" .... Isn't a 14-16 in girls around a size 2 womens? or maybe a 0....
