Because of social media, where women freely display their inherent beauty in all shapes and sizes, the standard of beauty is changing. This change is highlighted by a recent study that was published in the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education. It shows that the average American woman used to wear a size 14, but now she typically wears a size 16 or 18.
The study, which examined data from more than 5,500 American women, discovered that during the previous 20 years, the average waist size had climbed from 34.9 to 37.5 inches. The study’s principal expert, Susan Dunn, highlights the importance of the information by saying, “Knowing the average size can significantly impact women’s self-image.”
The fashion industry is urged by co-author Deborah Christel and Dunn to adjust to these developments. According to Dunn, “these women are here to stay, and they deserve clothing that fits them.”
The message is clear: in order to appropriately represent the genuine shape and size of the modern American woman, apparel manufacturers must adjust their sizing guidelines.
Elton John Has Been Hospitalized
Music legend Elton John, aged 77, fell at his villa in Nice and was hospitalized overnight for minor injuries. He was examined at a Monaco hospital’s orthopedic department and discharged the next morning in good health.
The incident happened during his summer stay in France with his family, following the conclusion of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in July.
Medical scans showed no fractures. Despite retiring from touring, Elton hasn’t dismissed the possibility of occasional performances.
Family remains his priority, especially time with his husband David Furnish and their two sons, Zachary and Elijah. Elton’s recent recovery underscores his ongoing commitment to family and music.
