Make clothing sizes universal

Petition Details

I want the government to implement a law within trading standards that all companies follow a universal sizing guide, based on the same sized (measurements) models for each size.

Additional Information

I think this is a crucial thing for the government to take notice of, in. Many of us struggle with body issues and eating disorders. According to the Priory - Between 1.25 and 3.4 million people in the UK are affected by an eating disorder. I believe that sizing clothes correctly and universally would be a positive change and progress in combatting the eating disorder epidemic. Being in recovery myself I know first hand how difficult getting dressed can be. Help us make it a little easier.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Government aren't responsible for regulating the size of clothes, which is a matter for individual producers and retailers.
