Shopping around recently, I have noticed that all my favourite stores now carry size 8 as the smallest size. And unfortunately, size eight doesn't fit me well. In some places that hold size six, it's just a size 8 garment disguised as a size six. And I can tell just by looking at it on the hanger. 'That'll never fit' I think to my self or sometimes say aloud, in which case I tend to draw looks from those standing near me.
