Size '0'

.
I must be the most backward mom in Lembah Klang for it was only last weekend that I know there is such a thing as a size '0' for a dress!!

I accompanied Dilla for shopping and I found out the reality behind her grouses all these while, that the fashion market is hostile to people her size!
Dilla, at 23+, could still fit into her clothes purchased when she was in standard 5, but the problem is she now has to wear an adult's image in order to be taken seriously as an auditor from a prestigious company in the city.

Our mission was to get her new 'working clothes', but those are not available at the Children's Department!. 'Miss Selfridges' are too frilly and sexy, 'mng' too casual, 'Zara' too heavy.
Thank God for 'Urban & Co'! I was at the point of giving up when we walked towards the half asleep salesgirl who turned out to be such a pleasant and helpful soul.

mama: Do you have suits in her size?
girl: Size 0, yes we do have a few left.
mama: Take them all and let my daughter try them on.

While Dilla was at the changing room, I asked the girl what's size '0', i.e. zero, did it mean there was no size at all????....
The salesgirl explained that size '0' is for adult with a teenager body who needs grownup designs. You can't go to work in 'little-bo-peep' dress bought from the children department, can you?

We finally managed to get some nice suitable stuff which could last Dilla for a few months. Infact, we purchased every piece that came in size '0' at the store that day, except for one black attire which papa said should only be worn to the boss's funeral.
Aaauuww papa, you are so cruel!!!

Later in the evening, I read in the paper that Victoria Beckham too is wearing a size '0'.
wow, what do you know, suddenly I understood what size '0' she was referring to!!!!
According to her, she could not fit into any clothes without doing much alteration on her own. She declared to have a waist of a seven year old, which means she could actually share her son Brooklyn's jeans. Imagine, David Beckham could be much richer if she should just do that.... (especially if her claim that she pigs on her food is not true!).
