Re: Non-fandom confessions.

Because the sizing of women's clothing is fucking bullshit top to bottom. There is no aspect of it that is reliable, logical, fair, or sane. As a guy, I'm kind of constantly amazed that women haven't started burning down clothing stores until you get better sizing.

Seriously, I wear 38x34 pants, a 36-37 inch sleeve with a 17.5 inch collar, and a 44L jacket. You notice how all of those have at least two measurements in them? And men's bodies vary in shape LESS than women's do! And clothing is supposed to be MORE important for women! (I think that last part's sexist and unfair, but it is the cultural norm.) And yet they'll just blithely say "Oh, you're a size 14" as though that carries ANY MEANING WHATSOEVER.

Not kidding about not understanding why more shit isn't on fire.

Friend, women's sizing is completely illogical for completely logical marketing purposes. Women are vain creatures who will buy Brand X's size 6 over Brand Y's size 8 every time, even if they're the same exact measurements. And most women have no clue what their actual body measurements are. I know this because I am one.

Nice attempt at white knighting, though.

It doesn't exactly help even if you know your measurements. I know mine and I occasionally look at the size charts of different brands so that I can find the right size. And surprise, surprise, they don't help dick, because every single item still varies in shape so the size small in two different shirts is completely different anyway.

Fuck online shopping.

AYRT - You have a point about the size charts. The cuts can be VASTLY different for the same measurements, depending on proportions and design and wearing ease. Online shopping is only good for brands whose fit you're already familiar with, and even then, the fit changes when they change manufacturers, which they do with regularity.

I mean, I honestly don't know what I'd wear if I didn't know how to sew. I had no choice but to learn because my body is so far from any designer's standard block.

I have given up trying to find pants that fit. I just usually buy something that is close enough and then get them altered.

"Women" in aggregate may be vain creatures, but as a short fat nerd girl with the fashion sense of a concussed bridge troll, I would fucking revel in a clothing store that sold clothing with the sizes differentiated by names like Nasty Wee Goblin, Average Ugly McFugface, and Huge Hulking Monstrosity, so long as they fucking fit off the rack.

I give precisely zero shits about my clothing size, since I can "fit" in a range from a US 4-18 depending on the brand and the supposed fit, and yet none of it really fits. I fucking love that all I need to figure out my bra size range is a tape measure, though. The day I figured out I was a 34F rather than a 38D and I could buy bras on eBay was fucking fantastic. If I could buy all my clothes based on my actual measurements I would cry with joy. Seriously, full body scanning to produce custom patterns to fit can't come soon enough. I'm not good enough at patterning and sewing to do more than basic alterations of existing clothes and patterns.
