The Issue of Size

“Do you think this jacket looks too big?”
“No, you want to make sure it fits in the shoulders and it looks like it does.”
“I think it’s cute, but it’s a large and I have never worn a large in my life, but it seems to fit.”
“You can cut the tag out then it can be any size you want, haha”
“I think maybe it is a little big”

Let’s get this out there. Brands do not size the same. Countries do not size the same. Stores do not size the same. It can vary greatly. A Chanel size 6 and an Old Navy size 6 will not be the same. Even within a brand, sizes can differ depending on fabric and color. Brands may change their formula or supplier. I had a recent experience with tights that I have loved for years. They changed something, and now the search for perfect opaque tights begins again. Fit is not a right, it is privilege that takes work to acquire. It also requires that you give up the dream that everything in your closet should have the same number on it. Cut the damn tags out and tell people whatever you want. Or better yet don’t tell them anything and let them admire your stunning sense of style whatever the size.
