I'm not fat, or chubby, infact I am very slim but I have quite long legs, 34 inch in fact, and trying to find a trouser length in my size from the high street can be a nightmare - I have around a 30-32 waist and trying to find trousers other than a 30 waist 30 leg or 32 waist 32 leg is often impossible!
Not all of us have standard legs!
Likewise I have quite long arms and so although a top might fit me across the chest and around my tum the sleeves are often a little bit too short!”

Yes, I hadn't noticed any of the trendy shops stocking anything over a size 14, and yet I see some really large people walking round in trendy clothes and often wonder where they've got them from.
