The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
As good an explanation as any, don't you think?

The more expensive the clothing, the smaller the size tag on the same amount of fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense to me too.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
As if I didn't have enough issues with clothing sizes (self-induced issues).
Pretty much.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; I never understood why a t-shirt in K mart is $4 while the same t-shirt in a high end department store is $39.95. It used to be the more expensive ones were better made and kept their shape in the wash, but that's no longer true.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I could find plenty to fit me if only I were eight inches taller and built like a broomstick. My size is mostly self induced too.
Jac; it does seem like a reasonable explanation.
I always buy the same marked size, but when you hold them up together they are often a inch or two different so I end up with fat clothes skinny clothes and it will be a cold day in hell before I fit into that.
ReplyDeleteMerle...............
Merle; I have a wardrobe of stuff all marked size 16, some fits, most doesn't, a few are too big. There should be a standard.
ReplyDeleteI really hate shop dressing rooms...and I've not ventured into one for ages and ages now. I buy all my clothes online...much easier to let my fingers do the walking than undressing, dressing and undressing in cubicles. Yeah...I know...I'm weird! :)
ReplyDeleteIndia? China? Sri Lanka? Those usually determine the size for me. The best bet is GoodWill.
ReplyDeleteLee; I can't buy online, I prefer to try things on and reject them immediately, rather than wait for them to arrive, then try on and reject and still have to go through the whole return process.
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane; I've found it's best to find a label or two that fits and then buy only that brand from then on.
