DOES THE SIZE REALLY MATTER ?
by susbut65 on 01 Feb 2014, 10:43
Mum was a pattern and dress maker by trade. As more trendy (value for money/quality seconds)boutiques popped up Mum would be forever reminding me that a qty of say t.shirt material would be put through the cutter for 10 size 12 tops...all labelled 12 but movement in the fabric would result in a difference in size of finished artical.
Really proving a point- I had been invited to go on my first holiday abroard with my best friends family and had previously lost weight and needed new clothes. It was way back when the satin shiney vivid colour Gloria Vanderbelt stretchy jeans were the biggest fashion must have and Mum was all too happy to buy me a pair.......8 boutiques not a single pair looked or felt right.Size 10 wouldnt pass my thighs- 12 gripped calves and thighs and gave tummy over hang - 14 creased across crutch and despite the stretch felt they would split if I sat down....Surely 16 would fit.....Yes if I was humpty dumpty or a circus clown with a hoola hoop waist! BUT HEY I did arrive back home with some size 10 strappy tops a size 10 boob tube beach dress 3 size12 skorts/cullottes and size 14 stretchy but straight jeans.(age 14!) Works do Tonight- belated xmas/new year get together so need to be good!wots low cal and can prevents getting tipsy too soon...other than water LOL
