why don't my clothes fit?
why don't my clothes fit?
Just recently I have noticed that my clothes do not fit properly. I was trying to figure out when the change happened when my boyfriend reminded me that it's a new trend.
Ladies, have you noticed that your pants are getting lower and your shirts are getting higher? I find it so hard to hide my stomach nowadays.
See the thing is that the clothes fit in the store. Well, as far as I can tell they fit. Then when I get them home and wash them, even hand wash them, they shrink a little. AND, I barely ever dry anything because I don't want it to shrink.
So what does this say about where I buy clothes? Yes, I admit, I have to shop at cheap boutiques. I cannot afford the $70 t-shirt. Yes, that may be part of the problem.
What about this problem? I notice this a few years ago. I used to be a size 6 pant and a small at Old Navy and The Gap. Well, now I think I'm a 4 pant and extra small. I don't think I've lost that much weight. I think someone is playing games with the clothing sizes.
Yeah, another thing. All you people shopping at The Limited, Express, Victoria Secret. Do you notice a little belly pouch in your pants and underwear? What is up with that? I don't have a belly pooch so that loose fabric bunches up and becomes annoying.
Okay, one other little gripe: JEANS.
I have the hardest time finding jeans. The problems are due to what I described above with belly pouches and high waists or with length or in Los Angeles...just trying to find my size. My biggest problem in the category however, is length. Cuffing jean bottoms are not in anymore, yet jeans are coming in longer lengths than ever before. WE ARE NOT ALL MODELS. But you know, I realize that they want us all to wear heals and that is why the pant lengths are longer. But what if I'm not a heals wearing kind of gal?
But who can make a difference. It's not like I'm going to go sew my own pair of jeans. I'll keep trying to find what works for me.
Good luck to you all.

Had to reply to THIS one! :-) Try being an athletically built woman...with a full chest to boot -yet a small waist and hips! I mean....in order to get a non-stretch shirt to fit -like a button down business shirt -I have to buy large to fit my broad shoulders and not gap at the chest area....BUT then it is HUGE at the waistline even if it's supposed to be a tapered shirt! So how do you buy a blouse that is large in the shoulders but small in the waist??? You don't -you take up sewing and taper the waistline yourself!
On the same lines....buying a business suit -many expensively made NICE ones come together -not as separates....so.....if you wear a size 8 in your shoulders and a size 4 in the waist and a 6 in the hips -what do you do if you can't buy them as separates?! It's just crazy -so, I am looking for an ATHLETIC clothing line for women....no luck so far -but I think I just found a GREAT start-up business idea.....
