Why do we rank ourselves according to rigid, fashionable dimensions? And how scientific are they? Welcome to my blog about the history and politics of clothes sizes. I'm a journalist and I'm starting this blog to discuss comments, memories, anecdotes and social history about clothes sizes past and present for the book I'm writing on the subject.
Anecdotes, experiences and opinions wanted!
If there's a size-related issue you can comment on, or would like me to write about, please email me at size@oliviagordon.com. It could be a memory of how your great aunt Maud kept her minuscule waist, experiences you've had with different sizes in different high street shops, or an insight into how size has affected your life.
Which is the most attractive size?
About this blog and my book
Who invented sizes zero to 32?
How did we get from loose robes to metal corsets to size zero, obesity and the epidemic of vanity sizing?
How do businesses use size to make money?
What was considered large, medium and small in the eighteenth century, medieval times and the Roman Empire?
How are sizes changing and were we bigger or smaller in the past?
What really are the natural dimensions of the human body?
Why does size control millions of women's lives today and are we more or less obsessed with it than ever?
I hope you will join me in my investigation.
For information about my book, please contact my agent Andrew Lownie
