How does your body affect where you shop for clothes?
Gemma Cartwright writes…
Reading Amy’s ‘Tall Report’ earlier this week produced me believe about how our height, body proportions, bust size and so on can impact our buying habits. No matter whether we really like our bodies or strive to modify them, we are, however, slaves to what fits when we step into a fitting area.
I don’t feel I know a single lady who considers herself to be a ‘standard’ size, but when we go shopping, we are forced to conform to one particular. Unless we’re able to afford a bespoke or couture wardrobe, or have a sewing machine and the time to make frequent alterations, chances are we’re forced to compromise on fit far more often than not.
Personally, although I can typically step into a shop, pick up a size 14 and have a fairly excellent opportunity it will ‘do’, I still struggle to uncover the best fit thanks to my brief torso, long legs, small waist and big boobs. At 5’7″, I also continue to be amazed at how frequently trousers are a bit short and minis are indecently brief, but maxi dresses are nearly always also lengthy.

Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to watch significantly television. Even though it has left me conversationally stunted when it comes to discussing ’90s pop culture, there was one glorious exception to the no-Television rule: Sailor Moon.
So far, the Geek Chic column has focused predominantly on science fiction and fantasy, but the world of geek absolutely extends far beyond those two genres. This time, we’re boldly exploring a medium we haven’t covered before: animation (particularly, Japanese animation, commonly referred to as anime). Though there are scores of notable anime series, Sailor Moon is among the most common.
