Undies

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 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.

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.

so when you can't get into your usually size cos it's way too tight you think "OH MY! i must have lost weight"?

no ..I dont think I've put on weight either  because of that.

I know my weight and I know sizes vary and unlike some I don't cut size labels off to hide the size of my underwear Woman LOL

i cut all labels out cos they itch and scratch and i don't need them anymore after  the purchase.

I'm surprised that they have gone that way because I thought that sizes were going to be standardised.

 

If you buy a designer piece of clothing (and I'm not bragging because I rarely do) then the sizes seem to be bigger.  A size 10 is more like a department store size 12.  It kind of puts me off buying online because you just dont know if things will fit.

Bonds underwear is pretty accurate for sizing.  They don't have tags, the info is printed on the fabric inside.

 

I would cut off any tags clothes because they are itchy/scratchy also.

sow = pig

 

sew = stitch

 

 

Bonds singlets got mysteriously shorter when they went offshore. I thought it was just hubbys tummy getting bigger but when I compare his old singlets to the new ones they were definitely shorter

I cut labels off all my clothes as they seem to be made out of tin foil or fibre glass.

They drive me crazy itching.

bonds is overpriced. i saw a tracksuit pant for 40 dollar. i liked the pattern so i had a closer look. polyester/cotton.

 

really?

 

i am not going to pay 40 ! dollars for a half-plastic tracky. sorry but i am neither demented nor mentally disabled.

 

i expect 100% cotton for that price.

They often have 40% off all stock. that is when I buy their stuff.  I don't know why they don't make 100% cotton track pants anymore...as you say the full cost of the poly/cotton ones are too high.

I have found that too Joono. 

Could the changes in some department stores being noticed now perhaps be the result of a review of standardisation ?

I take a very large size and I was unable to go shopping due to back problems and my mother phoned me from Target to tell me the colour choice in  the jumpers and she said they had a sizw 28 so I decided to get the 28s because I really like loose clothing.

 

All of them were so tiny so I went to the Target website and the size 28 clothing my mother bought was actually smaller than the measurements given for their size 26.

 

However I do buy the correct size knickers (I think) but with the cheap Chinese bras on ebay you need to go up about 3 cup sizes and 2 sizes.

i don't. i bought some my size and realised they were too small so i bought them bigger....

 

 

OMG!!!! that's IT! that's the reason why they do it!

 

do you see it?

 

they sell them 2 sizes too small so you buy a few (3-pack or so) in your size, then you realise they are too small so you go back and buy them 1 size bigger, take them home and - DARN they are still too small, so you go back and buy ANOTHER pack!
