Size matters

February 17, 2009 by Lynette

I decided to go to Dress Barn over my lunch hour.  I figured I’d try on some size 16’s (the size I usually buy, if I can fit into “non-plus” clothes) and some size 14’s (in a moment of optimism).  Smiley from millan.net

First thing (little suit) I tried on was awful. Skirt (which was only available in size 14) was like trying to shove a way-too-generous sausage into its casing. Smiley from millan.net

Second thing (pair of pants) – grabbed the non-14’s first… a TINY bit snug in the belly, but pretty nice… looked at the 14’s sadly, no point trying them on if they are smaller than these.  Smiley from millan.net

Took off pants – and OMG, they are a size TWELVE!    No way… double check tag and tag sewn in pants – YES, they are a size TWELVE!!!!

I can wear a size TWELVE!!!!  Smiley from millan.net

So, I bought those pants, which are now my hot-cat-mama-skinny-pants… and another pair of really cute pants in size 14 (they didn’t have a 12 and the 14’s fit pretty good – maybe Julia-the-seamstress-angel could take in the waist a bit) and a cute jacket/blazer on sale that was a MEDIUM!  MEDIUM!  Not X-Large, not Large – MEDIUM!

I also got four pair of bamboo socks – they are SO soft! Smiley from millan.net
