Women's clothing...

Alright, what is up with all of these different sizes. Here I am in one size that I've been in for a bit and I go to order my opening number dress, what a surprise I am in for. I'll admit it, I'm a size 7, I'm about 20lbs overweight because of some hormonal issues... So I think that I am a 7 in everything, right? WRONG! That beautiful dress up there is being ordered in a size 14, simply because I am not proportional. Now a 14 is not a big size at all, that's not what I'm saying. I'm trying to understand how I buy one size for years and now all of a sudden, I'm a completely different size in this one designer. I think we need to revamp the entire system and do away with 1,3,5,7,9, whatever and go with what the men do. Now for the most part, I would have to say that women rock, but men's sizing is much easier to understand. Do I want to admit I have a 30" waist, not really, but it would make it a heck of a lot easier when I was looking for something that is sized this way...

Ah well... There's my vent for the day. Thanks for hearing me out! On the other side of things, I am not getting much stitching done again, as school has started. This semester shouldn't be as trying as last semester, but nonetheless school work cuts into my stitchy time anyway. I'll post updates on Angel of the Morning and the beginnings of War Paint as soon as I can.

I think the clothing issue is the same everywhere lol at the moment I can get into 3 different size clothes 1 smaller, 1 larger and the size I thought I actually was seems to depend what shop you go to

That is just not cool! Something needs to be done to standardize sizing, so we don't spend all of our time trying on several sizes!

JMHO...
