Nearly everyone has had a conversation, at one time or another, about a woman's dress or pant size. You ask a man his pant size, and it is this completely reasonable waist/length number system such as 38/32. You as a woman and she says a size 16.
Men can order clothes in actual increments that mean they are likely to just buy something and have it fit.
Every single woman's item has to be tried on because what would be a 16 from one manufacturer is a 12 from another. And women do NOT get the variety of sizes that men do. All of our pants come in EXACTLY THREE LENGTHS. "Short/petite", "average/normal", and "tall". Women do not get the lux of being able to specify their waist size AND their length. GAWD FORBID. Try finding a size 16 in SHORT (it will never happen).
I want manufacturers of women's clothing to switch the system to ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS. And I want them to offer the same variety of sizes that men are allowed to have.
I would go one step further. All pants need to be waist/length/THIGH. And all shirts need to be CHEST/ARMLENGTH/Neck (where applicable). Dresses need to be CHEST/WAIST/ARMLENGTH (where applicable). These need to be listed in inches or metric, I don't care which. Any measurement that isn't needed can just have a dash (such as with shorts, length isn't needed).
I'd love for this to go viral. If you agree the women's sizes should be updated, then PLEASE reshare this. I am tired of the absurdity of dress sizes shifting over time. Let's just make them real measurements and get it over with! Please. Thanks.
