It’s not the “overweight” that is the issue. It’s that our definition of what constitutes being overweight for a girl, has changed so drastically from when I was in my dating years some 40 years ago. A girl who was a size 2 or even 4 in my day, was considered nearly anorexic. My friends and I were a couple of sizes larger and we were ALL slim. Lucille Ball was a 12, and I doubt anyone thought she was overweight.
So unless manufacturers have re-named and re-sized everything in the world of dress size, it is our own fault that people look at girls’ dress sizes altogether. And that is SO untzniusdig, btw.
And another thing, directed to the males : ARE ALL OF YOU SO FIT AND TRIM??????? Or even well-groomed? Just sayin’…
