This is When Tumblr Went Nuclear on the Bullsh*t That Is Women’s Clothing Sizes

Most women could rant for days about how hard it is to buy clothes without trying them on. Sizing is all over the place, and in a world where being an “average” size should mean being able to confidently choose a tag that says “Medium,” nothing could be further from the truth.

Most women’s clothes are sized extremely small. I am a woman of average height (5’7) with a below-average bust who wears, at most places, a size 8 or 10.

I have to buy extra large shirts most places I go. Seriously.

Which is why I, and all women, adore this Tumblr thread for calling out the whole sh*tshow for exactly what it is – utter nonsense invented to make us feel bad about our bodies so we keep buying diet products.

And not only that, but there’s a very good reason that people on television and in magazines look like a million bucks no matter what they’re wearing.

The moment of realization began when a plus-sized girl won a fashion consultation with What Not To Wear’s Clinton Kelly.

She first wanted to know how celebs make every outfit look perfect on their bodies.

Answer: tailoring.

Like, if you have money you can just…ignore the size. That’s a thing!

And we’re all shocked that they’re altering EVERYTHING, right?

Not just dresses and formal clothes?

I kind of am…

Don’t do this to yourself, friends.

Know that off-the-rack clothes aren’t designed to fit ANY body perfectly, they’re designed to fit all bodies, sort of.

Nothing is wrong with you; they’re just shitty clothes.

There are so many things they should be teaching you in school but they’re not.

These are the kinds of things the internet should be used for, y’all. For good.

Did any of this come as a surprise to you? Whether it did or didn’t, share with a girlfriend who could use the boost today!

Viral Post Perfectly Captures the Frustrating Truth About Women’s Clothing

Guys don’t like buying clothing, but considering how much easier it is for us to buy clothes, you’d think we’d be more enthusiastic about it. Seriously fellas, if you think buying men’s clothing is a chore, buying women’s clothing is a whole different ballgame.

You see, women’s clothing sizes can vary wildly from brand to another. There’s no “large, medium, small,” just a bunch of numbers that mean nothing. Seriously, what might be a 12 in one brand could be a 6 in another brand and a 16 in another. It’s like the wild west out there.

A Twitter user named Chloe recently posted a picture that very neatly expressed her annoyance with this unfortunate phenomenon.

As you can see, that’s a whole bunch of jeans that look a lot different from each other but are all size 12.

Chloe continued…


In another response, Chloe said, “No wonder women feel so insecure. I’ve had size 10 dresses, fit fine, then I’ll try on size 14 jeans that won’t even go past my hips, it’s not right”

Other Twitter users agreed with Chloe and offered their own thoughts.

Seems like a super annoying problem to have to deal with constantly.

Ladies, what do you think? Do you have a lot of issues like this with clothing?
