Why can't everyone make clothes to the same sizes ... even within the same store ... or from one year to the next ... or even one style/colour option to the next? I know that there is a standard set of measurements supposedly out there in the ether, but no-one seems to pay any attention to them *sighs*
Now, I know this is an old complaint, one echoed by women all over the world almost every day, but it still bears repeating.
Take my recent shopping attempts. I was a UK size 22 when I started my weight loss. My weekly weigh ins prove I'm losing weight. The fact that the size 22 jeans I was wearing at the beginning now fall off me, and that I've got one pair of slim fit 20s that are beginning to get lose, backs that up.
So why have I today had to go UP to a 24 to get a pair of jeans to fit? And why when I bought two pairs of denim jeggings the other week - same shop, same style, just different colours - did one pair fit perfectly and the other not even make it up to my bum?
Size 22 tops I bought last year hang off me, but the 20s I've tried this year have, on the whole, been too small, forcing me to buy 22s still, despite me knowing I'm smaller.
It's all very disconcerting to put all this effort into losing weight, only to find that, apparently, clothes manufacturers are losing 'weight' off their clothes sizes too.
