One Size Fits Nobody: Seeking a Steady 4 or a 10

In one store, you’re a Size 4, in another a Size 8, and in another a Size 10 — all without gaining an ounce.

It’s a familiar problem for many women, as standard sizing has never been very standard, ever since custom clothing gave way to ready-to-wear.

So, baffled women carry armfuls of the same garment in different sizes into the dressing room. They order several sizes of the same shirt online, just to get the right fit.

Now, a handful of companies are tackling the problem of sizes that are unreliable. Some are pushing more informative labels. Some are designing multiple versions of a garment to fit different body shapes. And one is offering full-body scans at shopping malls, telling a shopper what sizes she should try among the various brands.

 i absolutely hate the "SIZE " game. 

I have never been one to care what size fits me. I am just happy that I can wear some nice outfits and they look flattering on me. The size to me does not matter. It's how I feel inside and how I like how I look on the outside.....

Of course, now that I'm losing weight due to my surgery, I may be changing my feeling about sizes....i don't really mind wearing a larger size since I am a plus size girl that carries my weight pretty well.

So dress for success, what flatters you, what plays up your strengths and down plays weaknesses.....

 And it's why even after dropping a buttload of weight, I LOATHE trying on clothes!!! 

 I get what your saying.
While still losingweight I wanna know am I a 14 or a 12?
Hey manufactures I need to know for my head.

 Sizes make me crazy. And on top of it... I came to Korea where I'm a size 90. What's THAT all about? I work my ass off to get from a 24 to an 8 and now all of a sudden I'm a 90? Screw that man.

Your comment made my afternoon!  :-)   Congrats on getting to 8!

I haver a size XL tank top I love and then I couldn't get a size 26 pair of jeans on at the store, kiss my (apparently fat) ass!
