Question for the Gals

wow... so if I stood next to you my waist would be at like your boobs.

I don't go by the tag size I hold the clothes up in front of me and decide if it's worth trying on. The best thing is to just be dressed by a salesperson and let them fit you with the clothes that they sell every day.

Clothing sizes have changed but there's also no consistency of a clothing size either - so basically you have no idea what you're gonna get.

A zero is as small as you can go.

Good god how tall are you

Vanity sizing, BIG TIME. Im' 5'7'', and wear a 0 (unfortunately, most are too short, and they don't make 0's in long)... Most stores, even those are too big in the waist... But again, it's all vanity sizing, not the true size. I'd say a zero is more like an actual 3/4.

You are that girl that I hate SO much! I hold up a pair of pants and the damn things are 5 feet to long. Then I say to myself " Who the Fuck is a size zero and is this damn tall?"

lol Right. I'll trade ya Easy to get them hemmed, hard to let the hem out when there's not much there to begin with.

The worst ones are those you mentioned, express, banana republic, etc... They run waaaay big. I love Theory for work- suits, etc.... Expensive, but they fit!

Holy shit my head is going to explode.

This belongs in the "Gals" forum.

It's TAILOR. Not Taylor. Superqt is Canadian and covergrl lives in Delaware so this doesn't surprise me.

And it means your ass is getting too small.

It's similar with mens clothing. An XL t-shirt has a 50" circumference, and a size 32 in jeans fits a 40" waist.

In shape people don't make up the bulk of the population, nor the majority of the sales, thus marketing appeals to the majority or common person.

I'm 49-50" chest and have to wear xxl shirts. Depending on the jeans I can get a way with 33's but my waist is 35. Baggy and regular are way different in the waist. Regular I'd have to wear a 44 just to get my hips into them. lol

I have no clothes smaller than a 6.
I have a 27" waist and a 34" inseam.
I've been bigger and smaller - clothing size isn't who you are, it's just what you wear.

Up until a few months ago I always thought I was 5'7 but the nurse said no - 5'8 (MUHAHAHA more food for me then)

I have a short waist and long legs - hence the inseam.

As long as you look good naked - size don't mean jack.

I do hear a lot of petite girls complaining about clothes and not being able to find any and that's no fun.

I often buy pants larger just to get some extra length on a standard 32" inseam. Actually, I hate shopping - I always order the same stuff online and get someone else to dress me in the small clothing stores. I don't have mad mix and match skills.

Yoga pants, jeans and skirts are my friends.

Jesus, I'm a rambling freak.
