Want to know why it takes women so long to shop? Well here is one reason. Our clothing makers cannot stick to a SIZE GUIDE!!! Also I'll address curvy, overweight, toned, fat, obese on another post but for now lets focus on this issue. The following pictures are by the same brand and all the same size. I picked up once shirt and figured it looked about my size. Then I looked at the tag. Gone are the days of tag looking first because the clothing industry has lost it's damn mind! I followed by picking several other shirts. All looked similar sized and yep they were. All the same size. (I am still too uncomfortable to share that size but we all know it's anything small, medium or large for that matter).
I tried on two shirts previous to taking pictures, one I couldn't button because the b***s were not gonna allow it. The second had me swimming in it. Resembled pic 2.
So by shirt 3(pic #1)
I decided to document this episode of how I got so mad trying on some clothes. (Which btw is a miracle in itself since a pandemic apparently has met no one can safely try on clothes anymore!)
Pic1: fit fine. Shoulder space was a bit airy. Okay I could have flown to NYC if we added Helium but whatever. It must have been the "style". But then the stomach region button experience was enough to remind me that yes, 4 grown children 3 unrelated surgeries have done a number on me! Pic1 NOT
Pic.2. Is this some kind of a cruel joke? Is the fat girl supposed to house the entire circus in her shirt also? There is no "style" that can justify that this equals the size of at least 3 of me!!. Pic 2 that's a NO.
Pic 3. You can see my face that I'm surprised. This is now the 5th shirt with the same size tag and THIS one pretty much fits. It's almost a little too big for what I need but I'm keeping! Pic2 YES.
Pic 4. I made a video. I mouthed WTF!! I was hyped for this jacket. It's the same size as circus print #2 and puffy shoulder tummy holder 1. This..takes the literal cake..outta my mouth. (Actually I hardly eat cake but that's not this post)
There is a small clasp only there for minimal support not a full button. The belt is the tie. I looked like a busted cannon biscuits that oozed sausage too. I kinda was heart broken cause the shoulders, on point, the arm lenght correct. The chest area, perfect but then suddenly the jacket pulls to a disappointing 2 dress sizes small. Pic4. WTF NO.
Pic 5. The only way in heaven this would have been a better fit is if I was in Heaven because this one was perfect. I personally would have liked about 1/2 inch added to the length to make my stomach not match the end but I can't really even care this one fit exactly right. For those still reading. Yep SAME size..SAME brand!
Pic5 wins!
Then comes pic6. After pic5 I assured this red beautiful jacket would completely compliment it well for whatever power play appointment I had. My Juba the hut face can tell you it did not fit. Not at all. Pic 6 is a fail.
I had a skirt too. Same size. Normally I have to go up a size or two because I was blessed with an ass and thick thighs BEFORE it was cool and trendy and way before kids. So it's just bigger. But the skirt fell off. Literally had to try and hold it while holding camera and I decided Inhad enough humiliation for one day. So 9 pieces of clothing. Same brand. Same size. I wanted them all. I fit 2.
This is womens clothing. This sucks!
