Undies

kennedia_nigricans — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 09:27:22 GMT

I buy them 2 sizes up, otherwise they cut into my flesh.

Is there anyone out there who wears the same undie size as their normal size is?

No, i can't be bothered to make pictures. MAYBE tomorrow if at all.

assume i am asize 10. almost ALL my clothes are size 10 all different brands from different countries. i am SURE i am a size 10.

i buy size 14 undies otherwise they would be too tight.

what retailer of undies would want to make his customers feel "fat" (being 2 sizes up)?

it doesn't make sense to me.

Do you buy cheap undies or dearer ones? Cheap ones are more likely to be not the size on the label.

i buy mine at k, the stretchy lace ones that are sooo comfy.

i also buy other clothes in k but i am always size 10, except for the boys t-shirts, you know the school t-shirts i buy them in size 14, but that's children sizes and doesn't count. i hate that bodytight womens cut t-shirts in which you cannot move or even raise your arms.

i can remember a time when t-shirts were just t-shirts, like the men and boys t-shirts still are. no funny cut, no huge cleavage, just normal arms in which you can raise your hands over your head without making your belly nekid and having the "arms" cut into yer shoulders. aaarrrggghhhh

i usually don't either, but some dresses and skirts are so short that i am too cowardly to not wear one of those string tanga lace ones. it's windy here.....

Target changed all their sizing in all clothing at the beginning of this yr.

i never buy in target. so what did they change? just a general review or is a size 10 now a size 8 or so because ppl are getting fatter?

They made the sizes smaller, so for instance if you took prior to 2013 a size 12, you will now need a size 14.

that is stupid. must be a man making that decision.

i might be shallow or insecure enough to buy elsewhere if i am a size up in their shop. makes me feel fat.

i mean, if you are say a size 16 in k, but you are size 18 in target......errrhhhh i know it's only numbers but still....

of course if you are male you tell yourself it's all muscles, but for females i would feel miffed if i was a size bigger in their shop and might go and buy my stuff where i am only a size 16.

My daughter found out about the clothing size in Target when the size she usually got, didnt fit.

Her daughter use to be in a size 2 and that was too big, then all of a sudden they were too small, so she is now in a size 3 that is too big.

i wonder if their sales will drop cos there are women rushing out of the shop feeling insulted.

Re: Undies

purple_haize — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:19:01 GMT

I dont know, but it would have helped if they advertised that they were changing the sizing.

Re: Undies

kennedia_nigricans — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:21:05 GMT

something like "Dear customer in order to make you feel fat we changed the sizes to one size down"?

In order to make us feel fat we'd have to allow it to do so

I buy a bigger size in Undies, since the time I bought 3 pair and then found out they were to tight, yet i had not put on weight and had been buying the same brand for years.
