Recently I have been haveing some trouble finding new tclothing in the store that fits me right. I tried one one of those shirts that's supposed to fit like a little dress, well, it fit on top, poofed at the waist and was tight around my butt. I don't know what kind of people this clothing is being made for, but from the looks of the tiny little shorts and the wierdly cut shirts this year they expect everyone to have great big boob implants and absolutly no butt. A person like that would tip over and not be able to get back up. I am really annoyed, because I actually like alot of the clothes when they are hanging on the hangers, but I put them on and they just fit so weird. Is anyone else haveing this problem or is it jut me?

This morning I was thinking the exact same thing. I wonder if fashion designers have any idea about how we feel about that kind of thing? And if there are any on here or if anybody knows how to get through to them?
Okay I get it that something is designed and then made up in a different country. And that the pattern can get distorted in india or wherever it is being made. I also get it that something made in Italy is going to be way smaller than the same size made in Germany. What I don't get is that they seem to think that if you are a bit wide you immediately are 7 ft tall. thumbdown Why is it that if you have a big bust and thus get a bigger size they immediately assume that you will have very long arms? Why is it that for about 25 years designers thought it was okay to make slacks in larger sizes and add a button on the leg? People will see I'm big anyway. blush The fact that I got a certain size does not have to be advertised by two buttons on the leg of my pants!
Unless you are very out of proportion then this kind of thing should not happen. When are the designers going to get that into their heads?

Yeah I don't know what kind of deformed manequine they use to make these clothes. I'm not even big or anything. I'm 5 feet tall and about 110 lbs, so I'm shorter than what the clothes are designed for, and I butt is apparently a size bigger than my waist in most pants so a proper fit is impossible. I buy alot of my clothes second hand so the butt is already stretched out hahaha.

Do you prefer vintage or brand new?
Brand-new - conspicuously new; "shiny brand-new shoes". Being in a fresh and unused condition;...
