Greetings, Angie!

I had heard that the sizing “non-standard” was starting to impact petite women more and more. Frustrating and confusing, that’s what it is. I have to assume, though, that the marketers wouldn’t be messing with the sizes if it didn’t improve sales- which means that the people buying the clothes are *paying* to be misled.

Regarding more expensive clothes being accurately sized…if I were to guess, it would be that the expensive places are maybe more “traditional” and less prone to jumping on marketing trends. Which extends a little bit of hope: the falsifying of women’s clothing sizes may end one day, particularly if women tend to think of “correct” sizes as being a sign of quality.
