Do you have to try on 10 pairs of pants to find one that fits?

I hate three-way mirrors, taking bundles of clothes into the dressing room to try on, spending all that time, and walking away with maybe one garment! I profiled Cricket Lee this month and she has taken on the fashion industry, trying to get them to adopt a standardized fit system! How great would that be? Once you knew your size, you could order on-line with confidence and only spend time in a dressing room to see if you liked the combinations you put together. Wouldn’t that be fantastic.

Would you like to see the fashion industry adopt standardized sizes? Please let me know if you agree…Yes or No.

Sure do! I don’t know if many people know this, but from working in a retail warehouse doing finishing, many of your manufactures will change the size tickets on their merchandise. Especially if they are trying to fill an order and find out they don’t have enough of the size needed! I have seen large marked as medium and medium marked as large, etc.etc.etc.!
