Size Zero; Do We All Need to be This Thin?

Size zero is an american size that equates to roughly a size 4 in English sizes.  On both sides of the atlantic there seems to be this desire to fit into a size zero or equivelent dress.  Being size zero doesn’t make us better or more attractive and shopping for that size could be very challenging, as few shops stock such a small size. Size zero is tiny and will not fit most women, however thin they are.  Our bone structure will vary according to our genes and the size label of clothes is not necessarily an indication of how fat or heavy you are.

  I am sure we are all guilty of having bought something just because the label says it’s a size smaller than we normally buy.  Equally we will put something back on the rail, even if it is a perfect fit and looks gorgeous, because the label says it’s a size bigger than we would like to be seen in!     

I have a suspicion that some manufacturers have cottoned on to this and are cutting their clothes slightly bigger, to pander to our desire to having a size tag that is lower.

We all know this is ridiculous.  You are the only one who knows what size you are wearing and if it bothers you that much, cut the label out!  The size of a garment is just there to guide us.  Imagine if nothing was labelled and we had to guess the sizes before trying them on.  The sizes are there to save us time and rather like when your children’s feet a measured, it’s a starting point.   When clothes are mass produced they are cut by machines in large batches.  As the cutting tool presses down through all the layers of fabric, the fabric is stretched more at the bottom so even within one batch there will be slight differences in size.  

Wearing clothes a size too small will actually make you look bigger.  The garment will have creases and folds and give the appearance of lumps and bumps that don’t really exist.  Forget what the labels says and shop for something that fits, it is only you that knows what the label says..

Leather Cleaning Tips

Some people also like to clean their leather furniture and accessories regularly, in order to prevent molding. If you are not sure of how leather products must be cleaned, read on for some great leather cleaning tips.

General leather cleaning tips
The leather cleaning tips given here apply to all types of leather. These leather cleaning tips will give you a good idea of how to clean and maintain any leather product in your home. Leather must always be kept away from sunlight. Leather is also prone to molding, so it is a good idea to clean leather products at regular intervals. You can use soft, micro-fiber cloth to clean leather. Buffing leather with a damp cloth and some moisturizing soap, is a great way to make it look shiny and brand new. Make sure to choose a leather cleaner that preserves the lubricating oils that naturally occur in leather. Some cleaners strip leather of its oils, and these are to be strictly avoided. Cleaners that leave behind greasy residue should also be avoided, as it leads to infection by bacteria. In fact, it is a good idea to test an leather cleaner by using it on an area of your leather product that is not immediately visible. Once you have made sure that a cleaning product is suitable, apply it with a moist piece of cloth.

Leather cleaning tips to remove spots
Removing spots from leather can be very tricky, and leather cleaning tips on the topic can be quite helpful. If you find spots in your leather products, try gently cleansing the area with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. For more stubborn spots, a non-oily cuticle will do the same job. There are also many leather cleaning tips on removing spots using home made solutions. For example, a paste made from cream tartar and lemon juice and can be very effective in removing those unsightly spots. Use a piece of fine cloth to apply the paste to the area with the spot and wait for the result. After cleaning leather, remember to let it dry in the shade or indoors. Never expose leather to direct sunlight.

Leather cleaning tips to remove road salt
Leather products that are used outdoors, such as belts, wallets, shoes and bags are prone to accumulating road salt. Some of the best leather cleaning tips I have ever received have been about removing road salt. To remove road salt from leather, prepare a formula of water and vinegar mixed in equal proportion. Moisten a piece of cloth with this solution and rub the leather with it. Repeat this several times to completely remove the road salt. After removing road salt, it is a good idea to buff and polish the leather.

Leather cleaning tips to remove mildew
Leather products that have been left in a moist or damp condition for too long, can get mildew. Leather cleaning tips to remove mildew from leather can be invaluable. To remove mildew simply mix rubbing alcohol and water in equal amounts and use a piece of micro-fiber cloth to wipe the mildew affected area with this solution. A mild soap, along with a germicide diluted with water cal also be used on more stubborn mildew. The pores of leather are most responsive when the leather is dry, so always remember to treat leather before it dries out.

Leather cleaning tips to condition leather
A great variety of leather conditioners are available on the market. The conditioners can make your leather products look really clean and well maintained. Leather products are unique and natural. The conditioners will help retain the natural characteristics of leather products. Leather conditioners can also breathe new life into neglected and uncared for leather accessories, by restoring the natural scent, shine and texture of the leather. Never forget that conditioners are not meant for frequent use.

You might have heard many leather cleaning tips before, but remember that when it comes to cleaning your precious leather furniture or accessories, it is best to stick to tried and tested cleaning methods. If you are in doubt, it is safer to consult a professional.
