High street sizes: What you need to know
Are you different clothes size in every shop? A Good Morning Britain investigation put the UK high street to the test to see if UK sizes are uniform across all stores.
A OnePoll survey commissioned by GMB found that 92% of women in the UK don’t fit into the same size clothes across the high street.
Of the 1,800 women polled, 83% were forced to buy a larger size, while one in three say fitting into a larger size has a negative impact on their self-esteem.
Frustrated shoppers are keen for a standardised guide, with 82% of women surveyed saying sizing should be uniform across the country.
GMB put shops on trial, with size-16 model Gemma Cruickshank trying on clothes in various popular stores. While some fit perfectly, other items were too tight or couldn’t be done up.
