I was somewhat taken aback today.
An unknown brand that sells vintage homeware and a few dresses asked women for "Your dress size, height, and any body hang ups you have."
I was amazed by the response they got. So many women with so many different shapes and sizes who are unhappy with their bodies.
Have a look for yourself, here.
If you don't want to jump in to Facebook, here's a taster.

Jayne White I think most women over the age of eighteen have a bit of a 'thing' about exposing their upper arms. I reckon if you could stock a co-ordinating range of cute little shrug cardigans or bolero jackets, they would go down a storm. (I am a size 24 and have no waist, so the dresses aren't for me just now, but I'm working on it!) x -

Katharine Haigh Dress size 16/18, 5'1 post pregnancy body so things are wobbly. Dresses need to be the right length or they look silly. I'm not a fan of my middle or the top of my arms so i prefer when the dress is fitted under boob and not waist. Also like a matching...See More -

Jess Flaherty I'm a size 6 or 8 and 5ft 2", so it's hard to find clothes I feel sexy in. I hate my flat chest and knobbly knees.
The thing I hate most, however, is the term "real" women. EVERY woman is real, no matter what her body type. -
