Att du blir glad om vi höjer en halv ton

Tight fit.

Just kidding!

Benny Andersson of ABBA really fooled them, Anna and Frida. In a funny mood he and Björn decided to make exact copies of the dresses the girls were going to wear the next days for a performance. Only two sizes smaller than the original ones. The tailor did a very good job and the four dresses looked like peas in a pod, except for the fact that the sizes were different.
That night, before the show, Benny sneaked into Anna’s and Frida’s dressing room. “I hugged myself at the very thought ” , Benny says. “When the girls were changing their clothes, Björn and I were conveniently hanging about. We were laughing our socks off when we saw how the girls desperately tried to fit in those dresses!. They were beside themselves because they thought they had put on weight. When we finally, still rolling on the floor laughing, had to admit what we had done, we almost got killed!”

I really don't know whether this story is true or not and what dresses he is talking about. Probably the cat dresses? Imagine those two size too small... they would be kitten dresses then.

.

Not dresses but still very uncomfortable when too small: the 1979 tour lycra.

.

Extremely body hugging in this case.

Frida's outfit wasn't strechy, therefore virtually impossible to get in to. Those hotpants two sizes too small... now hold that stomach in dear and don't ever try to sit down!
