And the measuring really wasn't that uncomfortable an experience at all--and I definitely have personal space and body issues.<BR/><BR/>Can you have a friend or family member--or even yourself--measure you, and then you can take those measurements into the store?Leslie M-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434392840359276805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408862.post-78979251282980685692008-09-22T21:09:00.000-05:002008-09-22T21:09:00.000-05:00Elle, I think I'm with you here, except for me it'...Elle, I think I'm with you here, except for me it's the notion of bra sizing. Hell if I would EVER allow myself to be measured... 'cuz then I'd have to feel all insecure about that part of my anatomy all over again, and I'm just over that. It's gotten to the point when I just said fuck it and wear camisoles. Not like I need much in the way of support anyway.<BR/><BR/>(And if I were a politician, the media'd be sizing me up and trying to figure out my cup size, and to hell with it!)Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792779327477619787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408862.post-55961551448973299472008-09-22T11:17:00.000-05:002008-09-22T11:17:00.000-05:00i actually love right fit. i have been totally con...i actually love right fit. i have been totally converted because i am all apple-y.<BR/>but the basic of the colors is yellow=apple, red=smaller waist than hips, blue=WAY smaller waist than hips. you probably know that from the millions of posters. <BR/>and someone made a chart that i thought was totally helpful <A HREF="http://community.livejournal.com/fatshionista/2215163.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>, which is a useful starting point--then at least you have a size to go with and then try up and down and color equivalencies and such.<BR/>they are all done by waist size, which is why nothing makes sense! totally annoying. but, good luck.elizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00004964742091425849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408862.post-5251705541926634002008-09-22T09:55:00.000-05:002008-09-22T09:55:00.000-05:00I am so with you on this one -- They've had fads i...I am so with you on this one -- They've had fads in sizes etc.. before, but this is the worst. I'm not sure what I'll do when I need jeans, as the last time I went in there nothing was right -- they didn't HAVE the equivalent to my size anymore... really, they suck.<BR/><BR/>I'm very lucky that my closet is full of stuff that works for now. I know you don't like on-line shopping - -but, if you have a Coldwater Creek store near you, you can look at the 'average' sized clothes there and then order something similar from them on-line. Also Junonia has really quick service and good return policies.Inside the Philosophy Factoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255753259090709877noreply@blogger.com
