Vanity Sizing - M & S, BHS

March 8, 2008, 10:12 AM

For UK members:

Have Marks and Spencer and British Home Stores become more generous in their sizing in the last couple of years?

I have had to go down a size in both stores, but I know my weight is 4lb more than two years ago, and the inches (fractions of) match that.

Clearly I am only commenting on menswear!

What do others think?

Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

It happens here in the States where there is no standarized measurements; it's called vanity sizing.
