The average size of Women in the UK is a 16 – with around 4.4 million riders in the UK this equates to a staggering 2 million + lady riders who fall into the ‘16 plus’ size range!
It may be staggering to conceive, but Fuller Fillies is the UK’s (possibly even the world’s) only fully-coordinated Collection dedicated to lady riders between sizes 16 – 24.
Whilst it is true that there are some ranges that include the odd ‘extra-large’ garment or style, or profess to fit a size 18, in reality, the fit is very bad with manufacturers scaling up their patterns from a size 8 to an 18 resulting in a deformed garment; we have all experienced jackets with sleeves to fit an Orange-Utan, or jodhpurs so tight that we can’t bend to zip up our boots!
In the research for Fuller Fillies we interviewed over 500 ladies, gathering statistics to ensure our clothing would fit exactly how it should; measurements were taken for Bust, Waist, Hips, Leg Length, Ankle Length, Knee Width, Arm Length, Back Width, Neck Size; in short, we had our ladies tied up in tape measures for months!
