Campaigners have presented a petition to Bradford Council arguing that a flawed method of oversight and a failure to address long waiting lists are also adding to the wasting of a valuable public resource.

"I love [my clothes] to have a story - I just think it's so much nicer than something brand new, straight out of a factory," she explained."I just love the excitement of turning a flat piece of old fabric into a garment.

"I enjoy fabric, I enjoy making clothes and I just have so much fun getting dressed in the morning."It's nice to wear bright things that you feel good in, happy in, and that are comfortable."Mrs Riddington, who also owns and runs the Smoking Monkey Antiques shop, in Bury St Edmunds, believed there was pressure on younger generations to keep up with fast moving fashion trends and influencers online.

"It's sad for them because if you're trying to keep up with other people then you're always going to be disappointed," she said."It's such a terrible waste of someone's money and it's such a waste of resources as well."

Mrs Riddington said she was encouraged by her daughter to set up her Instagram account.

She regularly posts her latest bright and colourful creations and receives hundreds of reactions from followers."Next are usually very commercial, their models are very 'girl-next-door'. This model has 'the look' of a model," she said, adding however that it was "important not to stigmatise either way".

The ruling comes as there is increased focus on the effects of advertising unrealistic or unhealthy body images on mental health.The "body positivity" movement which began around 2010 focused particularly on promoting a more diverse range of models.

But Ms Moss told BBC Breakfast she thinks the body positivity movement is "slightly under threat"."The wider industry is veering towards a very thin model look," she said.
