Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. you might need your magnifying glass or a high powered microscope to read the franking over the stamp: above the stamp it reads "secure your dog" and across the stamp "for safe delivery" - this was on a Christmas card that arrived through the mail from my brother. Excellent advice I think. an "Aussie style" Christmas window display seen in the city by "no-one" David Jones Store has its traditional Chri...
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.
