Fun and games with clothing sizes

[crookedspire]

Just recently Iv decided to splash out and buy some new clothes tried on some trousers waist too big the legs too narrow. Went into another shop same size waist too tight tried another shop same size trousers waist just fits . clothing sizes are all over the place I gave up in the end.

Yes. M&S don't like to offend people so they keep the numbers smaller for traditionally larger sizes. Trendy shops like Abercrombie & Fitch do the exact opposite.

 

And Hollister (who Ambercrombie own) do likewise and don't want your custom (because you are over 30) so they turn all the lights off.

 

Just try before you buy

I once tried River Island now that was fun they must have thought I was mission impossible must have tried half of their stock before I found something to fit. I'm no slim Jim but I'm no ten ton lorry either.

And ebay is even worse, foreign sizes, its just a matter of guessing

I'm a medium in the Next at Heeley retail park.

 

I pop across to the Matalan at t'other end and Wow, that must've been a long walk 'cos I've shrunk to a small!

I really struggle finding jeans to fit, manufacturers seem to think if you're a small size, you are straight up and down. Jeans that fit my bum are too big on the waist.
