I just wanted to know if people felt size UK 4/USA 0 is to small as I am range from UK sizes 4, 6 and 8 deepening on the garment and the store, however someone recently told me I look like a catwalk model in terms of body size although I am not tall.

Never worry about being too thin. Being thin is a bonus unless it is from illness or eating disorder.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll pile on the pounds as you get older and less concerned with underhand boasting about your slimness to people who couldn't care less.

I did not mean my question to sound that way I am concerned I am underweight even.

Wish I was even twice that....

I'm fast heading up to 16-18 UK, from my desired 12 UK.

Since you don't mention your height or build, it is impossible for anyone to even guess if you are too thin. Google Body Mass Index calculators (there's a good one on the NHS site) and using your gender, age, height and weight, this will tell you if you fall within healthy boundaries.

Don't worry, it doesn't come across like that - it's obvious you just started the thread to post about being told you looked like a catwalk model.

Catwalk models these days are extremely underweight, being compared to one isn't a compliment I wouldn't have thought.

Well it's certainly not an insult.

If you're genuinely concerned, rather than humble bragging, put your height and weight into the NHS bmi calculator.

Your clothes size is meaningless without knowing your height and weight.

When I was younger (in my 20s) I was a size 4 at one point, I use to eat loads and my blood tests were fine. It use to be a pain finding clothes for my size, but the upside was that the smaller sizes always use to still be there during a sale.
Once I hit my 30s I've gone up to a size 10.
We're all different shapes and sizes, so as long as you're healthy just enjoy it

When I was younger most shops didn't stock smaller than size 10 but I think the sizes were a smaller fit. I was size 2-4 and made most clothes. Sometimes I'd buy kids clothes but girls don't have waists so it would have to be lycra. This was only about 15 years ago so be happy you have choice, variety and cheap options.
