S3 Ep9: The Shocking History of Clothes Sizing


Listen Later

We KNOW how messed up clothes sizing is. We’re taught to equate our self-worth with what size knickers we wear, which is obviously not true. And the more we looked into it the more we realised that clothes sizes are actually bull**** - it’s all made up, it’s changed over time, and it’s never consistent. Basically, we’ve been set up to fail, and we wanted to do more of a deep dive into why exactly that is. So in today's episode we're SO excited to chat to fashion historian Nicole Rudolph about where clothes sizing came from, how it got so messed up, and how we can remove the emotional aspect of sizing. This one was a huge lightbulb moment for us, so we hope you enjoy! 
Also a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to everyone who came to the live show - it honestly was one of the best nights (if not THE best) of our lives. We didn't have time to catch up about it before releasing this ep, so we'll have a proper catch up in next week's episode xxx
