Ladies sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are equal to s, m, l and xl, right?

Posted by Krusty (aka krustylu) Nov 26 '12, 12:20

If so, why the hell do they not use s, m, l and xl like normal companies?

Don't. Buy. Her. Clothes. - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 26, 12:42 3
- I still laugh when I come home with a new shirt for myself and some pants for Bub and Amy says, "And nothing for me?" - Spawn Nov 26, 12:45 2
  - Last year after Christmas we both went clothes shopping together. After 25 minutes I was done. I then went and did our shopping at Target and PetSmart - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 26, 12:56
  - Answer: Buy everything for her crotchless - oblique Nov 26, 12:50
Welcome to the Catch-22 of women's clothing. - JaxSean Nov 26, 12:36 3
- That's why you see what her other clothes are and buy that size. - Jim Nov 26, 12:39 2
  - "buy that size" - the one that varies wildly between racks in the same damn store? Pass. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:10
  - There's some easy things, and there's the don't buy stuff things. - JaxSean Nov 26, 12:46
don't buy clothes. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 12:30
you're so pretty. -- nm - Diva Nov 26, 12:28
don't forget those 2XL size 5 fatties. -- nm - Max Nov 26, 12:27
heh heh. No. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 26, 12:23
Go through her closet when she's out...take stock of what she has, buy 1 size smaller. - Will Hunting Nov 26, 12:23 11
- Wait ten-fifteen minutes to see if this is wise or not....I'm probably missing some female logic that will get you killed. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 26, 12:28 1
  - Mmhmm. -- nm - Kelly Nov 26, 12:59
- Good idea. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 12:26 8
  - if you really want to buy clothes for her, buy clothes that fit her. oooh...kooky mysterious female logic...*scary*... -- nm - Diva Nov 26, 12:29 7
    - I'm trying to. I got her PJ bottoms which were sized normally. She wants a fleece sweater but I can't figure out the sizes since there's no chart on - Krusty Nov 26, 12:35 5
      - Wait, she said what she wants? Then ask her what size. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 12:41
      - And keep in mind that Designer A's 14 might be Designer B's 12 and Designer C's 16. heh heh -- nm - Jim Nov 26, 12:40 2
        
        yes. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 12:44
        
        yep. This is the real challenge. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 26, 12:41
      - S=4-6 M=8-10 L=12-14 XL=16 - loosilu Nov 26, 12:37
    - Exactly. Buy what size she has in her closet. She'll be shocked that you showed the intelligence to see what size her clothes are. -- nm - Jim Nov 26, 12:31
....and if you do figure out her dress size - the panty size won't match that number -- nm - Pippy Nov 26, 12:22
only if you are shopping in Chicos and may be not even then. -- nm - Pippy Nov 26, 12:21 15
- There is a Chico's in Chico - amoxy Nov 26, 12:31 1
  - irony! -- nm - Pippy Nov 26, 12:32
- I don't know what a Chico's is but this is stupid. When did s, m, l and xl stop being good enough for sweaters and such? - Krusty Nov 26, 12:23 12
  - sweaters and blouses for the most part should be sm, m, lg, xl, etc. dresses and skirts are where the numbered sizes come into play. -- nm - znufrii Nov 26, 12:25 11
    - It's a fleece sweater and it's only numbers for sizes and no size chart on the page or site. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 12:26 10
      - odd...who's it from? - znufrii Nov 26, 12:34 9
        
        Target. And those are the only size numbers to choose from. So frustrating. I'm willing to get it somewhere else. everyone sells fleece sweaters. - Krusty Nov 26, 12:38 8
        
        I don't think you will. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 12:53
        
        Hmm...if it's target and the sizes are 1, 2, 3, 4, those are *probably* plus size. - Kim Pine Nov 26, 12:47 5
        
        And, having just gone and looked at their site, that's exactly what you're looking at. Women's Plus Size. - Kim Pine Nov 26, 12:51 4
        
        Thank you! You rule! -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 13:24
        
        Good call. - Kelly Nov 26, 13:09
        
        ah -- nm - znufrii Nov 26, 12:56
        
        Wow...nicely done. -- nm - Jim Nov 26, 12:53
        
        In that case...I'd wager your original thought may be correct... - Jim Nov 26, 12:42
If I have learned anything about women's clothing sizing over the years, it's that the fashion industry hates math and logic. -- nm - David Nov 26, 12:21 1
- there's not much of an industry standard either -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 26, 13:15
uh, nope. -- nm - decline Nov 26, 12:21
no, they are not. -- nm - znufrii Nov 26, 12:21
*points and laughs* -- nm - oblique Nov 26, 12:20
lofl -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 12:20
nope -- nm - Don Homer Nov 26, 12:20 1
- I guess she's not getting clothing. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 12:21
