Mr Price? More like Misses Size (Mrs Size)!

So Ritch Bitch is a stylish woman and all stylish women know that a bag from Mr Price is essential to be in the trend……..

Oh Dear Leggings…….

Okay so – I pounce my way to Mr Price in Cresta trying to grab myself a look for an event that required my royal presence…..Okay…….I first see these amazing tights/legging that are essentials for lazy days at home and for the office- where you don’t want to dress and kill people- just to give them a look at your silhouette, toned legs or whatever you slaying…..Great let me get myself a pair of each, I excitedly get, but wait I’m not a size SS, okay let me move further into the rack, Im not not an XS ether, WELP look at that only XXL , XXXL left. A lady comes besides me – attracted to these leggings as well only to be annoyed by not finding her size 🧐.

Mmmmh okay so clearly I am a medium sized woman and I dont want my leggings too tight or too loose- I want them just right. Well a Small Size (with some strength needed to cover my thick things and get over the two mountains-that is my ass) ‘Cause God Knows he was shaping a bootylicious queen when he shaped me ( well God, and fries 🍿 and chicken licken’ 🍗 and ice cream 🍦…….)

Guess A small would do, but wait I can only find two small sizes on a variety of six style- & Finally found a Medium in one style – Guess I will have to take those three- Well I meant to buy all six……🙄

Moving on to more trendier styles as anticipated…….

I get destructed by a pair of gym shorts & cycling/bike shorts (well Stofi in Pretoria slang) – and guess what – Only one Medium and all XS ,SS & XXL 😣…….. The styles I like are too small or too big 😰…..what sorcery is this?

Okay Now lets move on to why we here- I have an event to shop for…….

I am looking for something sexy and yet elegant and classy, and there it is I see this crazy black high waist pleather skirt and Lord behold I have no size 🤬…..

Here is the deal Mr Price

It is clear that most South African Women are medium sized, curvy with a bit of ass. The SS & XS are not a lot- read the stats ” although we would like to be fit and skinny- it is not reality- we fit into mostly Small, Mediums and Large and judging by my visits to more than one store I would say that is your average shopper- hence these sizes are always sold out. Although our BMI (Body Mass Index ) indicates that we are over weight🙄.We are not too small or too BIG- we are just in the middle of trying to eat healthy with ice cream on the side- 🤪- with more cheat days than days at the gym.

…….the typical African pear shape would be hip measurements that are 30cm larger the bust – compared to the 8cm of the western pear shape…… according to the CUSTOMISED SIZE CHART FOR THE AFRICAN PEAR-SHAPED PLUS-SIZE SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN study

& According to the BusinessInsider.co.za – There are no official adult clothing size standards in SA– 🧐 so everything is thumb sucked?

Please accommodate more S,M,L than you do the VERY smalL sizes and the very BIG sizes….
