A size 18 student has slammed Boohoo's 'ridiculous' sizing after being unable to squeeze into a large bodysuit - but claims it fit her cousin who is just SEVEN.
Ashleigh Warrington bought the black 'strappy lace premium' bodysuit last week for an upcoming hen party, but when the order arrived, she couldn't get it past her calves.
To make a point, the 17-year-old took the new purchase to her aunt's house where her seven-year-old cousin Melissa Johnson tried it on - and, apart being a bit long, claims the outfit fit.
Beauty therapy student Ashleigh has now vowed to shop elsewhere and urged Boohoo to reconsider their sizing.
Ashleigh, from Wirral, Merseyside, said: "When I opened it, I thought 'that could fit my little cousin'.
"I felt so disappointed. I've always struggled with my body confidence and that knocked me down.
"No wonder people feel so insecure about their bodies."
She continued: "It wouldn't go near me. It went round my ankles when I put it on - that's as far as it went.
"I was really disheartened and at first wondered if they'd sent the wrong size, but on the tag it said 'large'.
"I thought 'how on earth is that a large?'
"The clothes are so small. I think many of their customers will be classed as plus size, even if they aren't in other places.
"I feel like Boohoo really need to concentrate on their plus size range.
"They need to broaden their ideas with plus size items and really focus on that."
The disappointed Ashleigh has now returned the item and admits her time shopping with the online retailer is over.
Her family members slammed the sizing as 'ridiculous' after the bodysuit fit little Melissa - who usually wears children's age seven clothes.
Ashleigh said: "Whenever I usually go shopping, I go straight to the plus size part.
"I will probably go to somewhere else in the future. I don't want that to happen again and you still have to pay for delivery.
"Yes, there's a lot of thin people, but I feel like Boohoo focus too much on them."
She continued: "I took the parcel to my aunty's and got Melissa to try the bodysuit on.
"She thought it was for her, but I said 'no, it was meant for me'. She gave me a look to say 'that's not for you'.
"Apart from it being a bit long on her, it fit perfectly, and she's small for her age too. She's really skinny.
"My aunty and nan were both in the room and said how ridiculous it was.
"Boohoo asked what the order number was and the product number, but I've not heard anything else since."
Boohoo declined to comment.
