Can clothes be designed for real women! How would you define a real woman?

I am a size 6/8 and have always been this size. I cannot put on weight, I have had terrible trouble for years because I could not get clothes to fit me.

There are a few shops now that stock my size but I am still limited on where I can go. I always read in the magazines about larger people and the fashion and that all clothes are for skinny people. Well I can speak from 42 years experience and I can tell you it has not been easy. How about doing an article and some research into clothes for naturally small people and see how difficult it really is. I consider myself as a real woman and at the other end of the scale it's not easy either!
