Topic	clothes sizing is so weird
Jen0125 06/03/18 12:43:48 PM #18:	adjl posted... My sister ordered a couple swimsuits online once from an Asian website and ordered XL ones (the largest they had). Apparently "XL" in an Asian swimsuit store means "C-cup," and they didn't remotely fit. She gave them to my girlfriend, who's a 32D, and they were still a little on the small side (wearable, but she couldn't exactly jump around at most beaches). I personally feel that the whole small/medium/large sizing system is stupid. Just use measurements. Yeah, it's more to remember than a couple letters, but it's far more informative and far less prone to variations between brands (you'll still run into issues there, like apparently wearing 32"-waist jeans doesn't necessarily mean you'll wear 32" dress pants, but those can also be snuffed out). It also has the added bonus of not attaching any sort of connotation to the size, which helps maintain a realistic body image (both keeping people from feeling "large" with a 28" waist, and from feeling "small" with a 48" one). Also, bra sizing is stupid and needlessly convoluted and that whole system mostly exists to make it easier to retailers to figure out which sizes to stock rather than because it makes any sense at all to consumers (at any band size, most people are going to fall into the B-C range, even though the cups in a 32C are like a quarter of the size of the cups in a 40C, so retailers can stock B-C's preferentially). Just measure actual band sizes (not measurement+4, as is currently done) and the distance from the centre of the boob to the bottom (when it's well supported). I wish they'd just do measurements too. That's what I mean by universal sizing. It's so annoying to not know what pant size you are brand to brand because a 10 in one brand could be a 12 in another brand could be an 8 in another for pants. Then with bathing suits fucking forget it. I used measurements this time so let's hope for the best because I didn't want to leave my house but usually I have to try on 18 different suits in all different sizes to find anything that fits properly. --- https://imgur.com/4ihiyS2 "I am not gay!
