What is your True Size?

Started by CocoaDiva · 6 months ago

I don’t know about you, but for the past several years clothes shopping has become more of a headache than the nice enjoyable activity it once was.

    I'd love it if they just did it in inches the same way they do men's clothing; sure a few feelings would be hurt but it would make shopping *so* much easier. Screw paying extra for a smaller number on the tag, I'd pay more for jeans if I knew up front they would fit without having to try on 10 pairs before I found some that fit correctly. It should not be so serious that you need an Excel spreadsheet

    Great post! Clothing for women is so funny and sometimes frustrating. It all depends on the brand and style of clothes, for the outcome of the size. I can be in a size 5 with one brand and a size 7 with another.

    It would be much easier if they all labeled their sizes the same. I am one of those people who will leave items in the store if I am in there too long. So, if I'm fooling around store after store dealing with vanity sizing I'd go home empty handed. Their loss.

    It's not the size it's the fit! Why force yourself into a size 10 if the pants labeled size 12 would be more flattering? There is no industry standard in sizing b/c different designers cut their patterns differently. Also, sometimes higher priced items fit better b/c the craftmanship is generally better. And for jeans I sing the praises of DKNY Soho jeans. The waist is a regular rise and they are very flattering. They can be found at Macy's and DKNY.com. They are made for women not young twenty-somethings. read the reviews on macys.com, they are much loved!

    i'm really frustrated that there isn't a standard US size but i'm learning now that it's not the size that's on the label but how it fits me that really matters.
