Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I am not quite pissed off, but I am feeling a little tingly feeling regarding sizes. I went to a sale a week ago. I had to buy a whole new wardrobe. It was not fun. I could not for the life of me know what size to try on. After two agonizing days of trying on clothes, I walked away with things from size 14 to 18. Yesterday when I was on the bike reading my gym mag, there happened to be an article about this very subject. The people who write the article went around measuring different clothing lines, and guess what? Major discrepacncy. They said some manufacturers resort to " vanity " sizes. Could this be why a size 16 of Liz is loose on me while Tommy Hilfeger fits and a size 18 of a Newport News order is way too small? No way I am a size 16. I am 5'10 " and 230 pounds. The article said that some manufacturers use " vanity " sizes because when people see that they are a smaller size in one designer and a larger size in another, they tend to stay loyal to the designer which makes them think they are smaller. And you thought we are obsessesd? Vicki A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 My pet peeve (well, one of them) was that the Women's Dept was always on the top floor or in the basement all the way in the back of the store...the old back of the bus syndrome. in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
