Bust: 33"
Waist: 25 1/2"
Low hip: 35"
Arm length: 22 1/2"
Inside leg: 31 1/4"

Thank you

I know I'm not going to get any thanks for this comment but why are you fitting your clothes to a size 8 when only 10% of the UK female population can fit into it. According to Mintel nearly 40% of us are a size 16 or over and the UK average is a size 12.

No worries, that is just the sample size we are requested to fit by our buyers. Our styles do not stop at a size 8, but are graded up from there.

Thank you for replying Hannah. Speaking as one of the 40%, I think your buyers and the fashion industry in general should recognise that no amount of "grading up" from a size 8 is ever going to fit me or women like me! But I fully appreciate that's not something you can do anything about - just needed to get it off my ample chest..

While I may not be quite the fit model you are seeking (inside-leg a bare 29 1/2"), I am so curious as to the meaning of "fit" model you have in mind that I've had recourse to a range of dictionaries:

"a fit, suitable and competent person" ?

"sexually attractive & good looking" ?

"fit in wind and limb" ? (though you seem happy with one whose "fits can last between 30 mins and 3 hrs")

"contributing genetic information to the gene pool of the next generation" ?

"fit to be tied" ? - once your prospective model sees the uncertainty of N16 Vintage hours of work.

A person of a set standard size (to which few of us actually conform) on whom sample clothing can be put in order to be "fitted".... ie. Adjusted to fit

A couple of years ago I saw a 1940s wedding dress for sale in an antique shop. It was displayed on a tailor's dummy and was described as a size 8 but imo quite a bit smaller than today's size 8 (and definitely shorter).

And later I found a pattern size guide in a 1972 copy of Golden Hands -

bust:32.5"  waist: 24"  hips: 34"

That was size 10.
