W O W !! It's hard for manufactures to get it right. women and us girls come in so many shapes . and manufactures try to accommodate. ](*,) .
So we have to try the garments on. i'm a size 8 but I have to go up two sizes to get the cloths that fit right. example me and my SO are the same size, but she is 4" taller. most stores order from different venders. So some cloths we can share and some we can't :(

well it's not just that though, it's just really hard to find something that fits absolutely perfect and then when you do it's a hideous color.
So what should we do? Only wear the 3 ugly things we can find that fit perfectly, or go ahead and get that really cute dress even it is the wrong size?
She's right about jeans though. The only good thing about that is there are 93 zillion jeans out there so it is possible to find really cute ones that fit perfect - if you have 352 years to shop for them.

From the Onion, of course it's satire. 90% don't consider the source of what they're reading. :P Many women do need better fitting bras, but who wears the wrong size pants?

My first husband and I honeymooned in LA and of course did all the touristy things. One day we went down to Hollywood and Vine, a huge disappointment but that is another story for another time. At any rate as were walking around a couple of "curvy" girls walked by and to be kind they looked like they grew into and yes out of their pants. Frank tuned to me and said "Some stretch pants have no choice." :lol:

LOL I will need to remember that one.

We were having lunch today and the party in the booth next to us go up leave. The one guy bent down to pickup his son. He had on a pair of low rise, skin tight poured in look jeans with the muffin pouring over the top. So girls are not the only ones wearing the wrong size. :huh:

I am naturally thin and 5'8" tall. I plan to stay thin and "girly" and there will be NO beer belly. I know all my sizes from shoes to tops. Dresses don't normally work for me but skirts and a nice top works best. Almost never slacks unless I'm working around my home. My weekends as Betty are my life so I watch what I eat. For about 6 years I've been cheating a little with a small dosage of hormones and have developed some nice curves so clothing does fit a little better. NO spanx !!
