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 

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.

i would never be game to buy a dress my size online. i did buy dresses online a few sizes up as i can sow.

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.

but past tense of sew is sow?

or maybe i am just hungry....
