If it sparkles or its fluffy its all good.

It's nice and comforting to be predictable. I don't jump though, that would count as exercise!

We all can't be a miniature size 8
Totally agree with Bins, size 14 is not a plus size.

I don't like attacking people. I didn't attack the OP, I attacked Western society for labelling the average woman as 'plus size'. Anyway, I am DELIGHTED with Prossie's idea on importing riding clothes and I will remember this thread and maybe one day contact you Prossie in need of a natty vest.

Also whilst we're at it with the complaining about sizing etc.....
Along with ruining a completely innocent post with our insecurities.
How come you don't stock my size!!!?
Not my fault I work my guts out on a farm and happen to be a size 10 because of it. Really, it's my over active thyroid that does the trick. We can't all be size 14s...
Not really a two way street is it folks.

No you dont Lee, not really.
Weight loss is only one symptom.

Everyone has problems and loads of people want to be other than they are. None of it belongs in this thread (irony, eat your heart out). Let's make a new one in off-topic.

Sounds like a great idea what you're doing i didn't know until this thread it could be harder to find those sizes, i always thought it was just me who couldnt find sizes easily, and honestly it doesn't matter what size you are, if you can't find it its just as annoying! Because everyone should be comfortable in their own skin 
I went to order some Dublin jods in at horseland the other week because i really really liked the pattern and they didnt have my size in so we started with the order and then she turned around and told me that they didnt make those ones in a size 8, at all. Which i was surprised at, surely i thought they would manufacture all sizes even if a larger percentage of certain sizes was sent out? Has anyone else found this? Are size 8's generally not made anymore?
I tried so hard to get away with the 10 but it wasnt going to happen :/ i have other dublins in an 8. So this makes me wonder as well where do people who need size 6's get them from?
Im also going to add, please no one take offence to my post, i am not at all having a go at anyone, i know my sizing is different but it is not meant to offend, merely vent at how annoying it is to not have your sizing in/made and i think its great the OP is finding a solution for so many people - When you stock size 8's let me know!!

It is if you're four and a half feet tall!
@Martina... I would never have thought you would have plus size gear, as my experience of most European brands was they weren't available in such sizes...must just be what the shops order then! You should start threads everywhere telling people what you have!

I do know not everybody can be a "STICK FIGURE" and not everybody "HUGE" has a fetish for coke/cocolate !!!
Personally, trying to cater for EVERYONE - got "bitten" as I have not moved any stock in bigger sizes
So, SORRY ladies not buying in any more plus 16/18 size gear !
Simple as that
There might be a market out there, but if I am "sitting" on plus sizes (which are sooo wanted ?!) WHY are they not selling ?
Cheers MARTINA
PS: Sorry, I think everybody can tell - I am extremly frsutrated about that !
Have been understanding and have friend in the size range of 16 - 24+ ... and I have catered for them, but if you want to run a business ? - You obviously have to sell dirt cheap / for free or custom made ?! I am clueless
|
Reason being it probably because you havent really marketed to the plus size. You flog your saddle clothes and gloves but I've never heard to say plus size jackets etc. Your prices are out of my budget anyway but if there was something I really like I maybe would. The other thing is the sizing EVERYWHERE is different and buying offline is a big risk. I havent seen if you offer returns and I know your only open by appointment. So word of mouth about size hasnt gotten out yet.
In saying that Eu size 16/18 is prob equal to our 12/14 and most plus girls wouldnt fit in it anyway.
