So for some reason, ranting on here brings me peace of mind. I have no idea why. I have been walking around ranting about these stupid window people for the past two weeks (at least). And after posting that rant up on here, everything was better. They haven’t fixed anything, but I feel like I have taken my vengeance on them by letting the internet-people know that this company’s service sucks.

In other rants, I bought clothes online last week. I thought it was a good idea. They were really nice clothes on clearance and I was ordering with a couple other people, so we were all saving on shipping and other miscellaneous hidden fees. I ended up buying a pair of cargo pants and an adjustable sluttiness skirt, both the same size. When they arrived, the waists of the two garments differed by over 4 inches, resulting in my having to send both back for exchanges. How is this possible? I have ranted about this a couple of times before, but not recently. So, I will try again.

Women’s clothing need a new system. There is no reason men should get numbers like 32×34, representing actual inch measurements, while women get 6, representing a value comparable to some standard of measure that is undisclosed to anyone. There is no reason women’s clothing should come in negative sizes. There is no reason for me to buy two garments from the same company and have them not fit in completely opposite ways.

And why are sizes only even numbers or odd numbers? Just give misses a range and juniors a range. That’s it. No skipping numbers. If you’re out of one range, you’ve reached the next. Tough. If you have a 30″ waist, you’re a size 10 (or whatever standardized size you want). There’s no cheating the system. There’s no courtesy size-down. There’s no one number that defines a dress

Sometimes shoulders and neck too, and a length would be nice, but I’ll settle. Pants? No inseam, length, or waist measurements. You get one useless number.

So, according to the world of fashion, I’m between a size 4 and a size 14. I’m getting a personal tailor. Anyone want in?
