Re: Clothing sizes!
If Bon Marche ever closed down, I'd have nowhere to buy my clothes from! I used to say that about C&A.
I always have to try on clothes: cos I am overweight (alright, my gp would call me obese, but I'm not that bad!!), I prefer to wear trousers with elasticated waists - for comfort, you understand - and usually veer to size 24. The only problem is the legs of the trousers are massive! As in too wide.
Why can't some be a slimmer fit? I do not have thighs like tree trunks, so don't need all that material.
I hate clothes shopping, for the very reason of size variation.
Yesterday I was looking through nightwear in bhs, as I wanted PJ bottoms. All the PJ suits had trousers trailing on the dirty floor and they looked pretty disgusting. Why couldn't they be displayed on much higher rails?
I can't wear a onesie cos of me hot flushes, and wanted something to put on under a nightie. I did find something, (they have a good sale on) but their sizes only go up to 22, so that's what I had to buy. Fine, cost me £14.40.
Got home, put them on, fit rather snugly round the waist, but again the bottoms trail on the floor, as the legs are too long! The edging is lace, so what do I do? Get a needle and thread and turn them up anyway?
