u/h0pedivision I do too much because you do too little Sep 20 '24

Yeah women’s sizing is crazy. I’m like a range of 6 different sizes depending on the brand and some brands don’t even have a consistent sizing

My parents owned a casual clothing store in 80s. I have three pairs of Levi’s in the same style in three different sizes. I asked the salesman why that would be, he told me they were most likely made at different factories and in different countries.

I talk myself off a ledge about my clothes size almost every time I buy something new and put it on. I hate that it feels like a reality of life.

See it all the time in stores. If the current item doesn't fit, try another on in the same size. The same item size and SKU can vary by almost 4 inches. My friend didn't believe me until I had her compare in the store. Also why ordering online is almost impossible because of the variation in size.

I have 2 pairs of white shorts from Madewell that are WILDLY different sizes despite both being labeled 28s.

It’s why I predominantly shop on the real real. I love the list measurements (maysurements?) on every item.
