But here are the basics:<BR/><BR/>I once worked in a FANCY dress store. And I may or maynot have gone in the back room to quickly change a size 14 tag to a size ten tag for a customer who although a size 14, insisted she was a 10.<BR/><BR/>Annnnnddd I have working in the apparel industry for over 20 years. And the 'specs' of sizes and garments have changed..drastically. For instance Marilyn Monroe was a size 12. WHat? But if you look at the actual measurements of her garments, it is equivalent to a Size 4. Nope. Not kidding.<BR/><BR/>Depressing huh. And still? A size 8-10-whatever is great. Happy for you.<BR/><BR/>wow long comment.<BR/>do I win a Gap Card for this?<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-30938326739925388172009-02-10T12:04:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:04:00.000-08:00"20 lashes with a wet noodle" Love it! I use to ..."20 lashes with a wet noodle" Love it! I use to say that all the time! :) I used to have a love affair with the Gap too....I even managed several right after college. Now, I have a very hard time shopping for jeans and basics don't seem appropriate anymore....we've all gotten so "fashion forward". We do look good though and if Gap wants to tell me that I am now a size 6 instead of an 8....who am I to stop them? I like that whole bliss of ignorance, thank you very much ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-42991031061916794702009-02-10T11:40:00.000-08:002009-02-10T11:40:00.000-08:00Yeah...I'm not sure what's wrong with measuring in...Yeah...I'm not sure what's wrong with measuring in inches, but I'm a guy. :) I agree, vanity sizing sucks.<BR/><BR/>And to Soliloquy - my wife went recently to be properly measured for a bra and needless to say, none of her current bras were of the right size.<BR/><BR/>Consider me glad to be a guy when the topic of clothes comes up. :)Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492150672261870878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-6347750584079481772009-02-10T08:49:00.001-08:002009-02-10T08:49:00.001-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.kyootyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001748005643667487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-85574539466509058782009-02-10T06:26:00.000-08:002009-02-10T06:26:00.000-08:00maybe you wore and washed the black ones so much t...maybe you wore and washed the black ones so much that they shrunk down to their now size 6 look. maybe you were really a size 6 way back then! <BR/><BR/>(hey, i'm only trying to help!)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225456755011937217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-753543450070678072009-02-10T04:41:00.000-08:002009-02-10T04:41:00.000-08:00Small sells, baby.But consider this.

At Victoria's Secret, Vanity Sizing goes the other direction.<BR/><BR/>Big sells, baby.<BR/><BR/>Can someone tell my body what size clothes I'm wearing? Apparently, it doesn't know I should be 36" - 24" - 36" according to Gap and Victoria's Secret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
