S3 Ep9: The Shocking History of Clothes Sizing

We KNOW how messed up clothes sizing is. We’re taught to equate our self-worth with what size knickers we wear, which is obviously not true. And the more we looked into it the more we realised that clothes sizes are actually bull**** - it’s all made up, it’s changed over time, and it’s never consistent. Basically, we’ve been set up to fail, and we wanted to do more of a deep dive into why exactly that is. So in today's episode we're SO excited to chat to fashion historian Nicole Rudolph about where clothes sizing came from, how it got so messed up, and how we can remove the emotional aspect of sizing. This one was a huge lightbulb moment for us, so we hope you enjoy!  Also a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to everyone who came to the live show - it honestly was one of the best nights (if not THE best) of our lives. We didn't have time to catch up about it before releasing this ep, so we'll have a proper catch up in next week's episode xxx If you’d like to try the Virtual Yoga Studio you can head to virtualyogastudio.com/love, thand for £15 you’ll get 3 months of access to daily classes that can be done at your own pace and from wherever you want. ✨NEW EPISODES EVERY TUESDAY, CLICK SUBSCRIBE TO GET THE EPISODES FIRST!✨ 🎥If you'd like to watch this episode, we're on YouTube: youtube.com/@goloveyourselfpod 🙏 You can support us on Patreon for £1 a week to get ad free and early episodes: https://www.patreon.com/goloveyourself 🙏 Or support us on Apple Podcasts for £1 a week to get ad free and early episodes: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast... 📧 If you'd like to contact us, you can email: golove@crowdnetwork.co.uk 📷 Or follow us on Instagram: @goloveyourselfpod ❤️ Join our Facebook group to connect with other listeners: https://www.facebook.com/groups/51272...

Welcome to Go Love Yourself! It’s the show where we’re all learning to love ourselves a little more 💖 Laura Adlington (left, 2020 GBBO Finalist) and her best friend Lauren Smith (right) grew up in the 90s and 00s when low rise jeans were high fashion, Bridget Jones was the poster fat girl and diet culture was rife. Now, we’re unlearning everything we’ve been taught about body image, acceptance and confidence, and this podcast takes you along for the ride! From self-love, to the other kind of self love (wink wink nudge nudge) we’re here to help you feel happier, more confident, and part of the best community on the internet. Join us EVERY TUESDAY as we talk about everything from diet culture to dating, mental health to social media, fashion and giving zero f***s about what people think..
