One in three Hong Kong females finds clothing sizes too small, survey shows
The devil may not wear Prada but he definitely likes to make women wear small clothes - or make them feel guilty or even suicidal if they don't fit into them.
One in three women find sizes too small in Hong Kong and 4 per cent have thought about suicide because they cannot find clothes that fit, according to an Eating Disorders Association survey.
The association urged the fashion industry to provide a wider choice of clothing sizes and to refrain from displaying XS-sized clothes and employing ultra-thin models.
Over 600 women aged 16 or above were interviewed for the survey.
Of the respondents, 45.4 per cent - or 274 women - confessed they often had difficulty buying clothes of a suitable size, even though more than half of them were of medium size.
