You know what my problem with buying clothes is? My lower body is, like a medium to large, but my torso is small when it comes to stretchy fabric, medium when it isn't. (Fucking breasts.) That makes it really hard to figure out what size dress to buy.

And while I'm on the subject, is it me, or are sizes gradually getting smaller? I mean, my old clothes still fit exactly the same as always (with the exception of the uppser torso -- see also: breasts), but whenever I go shop at a normal store, I notice I suddenly went from european sizes 38 (torso) and 40 (lower body) to 40 and 42. WTF? Has the world population's average size gone down or something? Or did the fashion industry decide they wanted to use less fabric? Or no! It's the diet industry, trying to make everyone feel fat!

ç!è()z!"()à!(é'()ç!

And let me also point out that most "large women stores" start at size 42. For fuck's sake, people. I'm hardly "large", okay? I'm medium. Average. Not large, not fat. Nothing wrong with being fat, btw. Just pointing out that, well, I'm not. And when people try to impy I am, it scares me, because that means their idea of "skinny" would be my idea of "holocaust victim."

Yeah! YOu go girl! Seriously, that's something that's been bothering me for years now! I mean, what is this, I can't even buy at Jean Pascal anymore because they decided to have sizes between 34 and 42. And their 42 is a usual 38/40!! I mean, really, I'm 1,80 meters tall, I can't wear a 38 in pants. Just not possible! Aarrrgh! It's like, everytime I go there and try pants it makes me wanna stop eating and throw up everything I ate so far just not to have to know I don't fit in any of their pants!!

It sucks.
