Woman claims "clothes sizes mean nothing" as she fits into a size six and an 18

A woman is convinced that the sizing on clothes is irrelevant - and she proved her point by trying on items that should fit her.

Sarah-Louise Gee shared a video on TikTok demonstrating her theory, and in the clip, she tried on a size six t-shirt and a size 18 skirt.

She then tried on a size 14 pair of jeans from New Look, which fit, as did the pair of size 12s from Zara, but then the size 14 from Primark couldn't be done up.

Sarah-Louise, who shares on TikTok as @sarahlouisegee0, has urged her fans to 'pay no attention to clothing size', as others rushed to the comments to praise her for spreading the message.

Sarah-Louise's video resonated with her followers as soon she was inundated with comments from people who were glad to hear the advice.

Then another added: "This is such an important message to get across. Well done."

And a third wrote: "So refreshing to see such honesty. It can really affect your confidence when you have to wear bigger sizes. Love this."

"We always try to stick to a size bracket but how can you if they are so far out?" Asked another user, then soon Sarah-Louise replied: "Exactly this. I used to stress so much if I didn't fit my 'usual' size. I'm not worried at all anymore."

Meanwhile, former TOWIE star Maria Fowler recently sent an important reminder to women who feel "deflated" when out shopping if jeans in their usual size don't fit.

She took to Instagram to reveal how much clothing sizing differs depending on where you shop.

She shared a video of herself trying on a pair of size 12 jeans in the changing rooms of four different high street retailers like Zara and New Look to compare the sizing.

"I’ve come in to try size 12 jeans in different shops," she explained. "I want to see how they really fit, no matter what dress size you are.

"You might wonder why one minute everything fits, and two months later you can’t even zip those jeans up."
