clothing sizes, in general

Post by mict450 » February 10th, 2021, 11:37 am

Last set of name-brand tank tops I ordered were baggy & the tails were extremely looooonnng! I've always worn the same sized tops since high school & it seems to me that a given size has increased at least one or maybe even two sizes!! Am I imagining things or is this some sort of garment industry conspiracy to conceal the fattening of America & other 1st world countries?

I now always buy large, but I always used to buy XL. Admittedly I have lost some weight but I agree the sizes have got bigger, I assume so there isn't the stigma around XXXXL
