...only size available is Large. Darn. Although I'm mostly wearing XL or XXL in regular size clothes... sometimes I can fit into a Large if it's made just right. Sometimes. So, I check out the sizing chart, and I find this:
First of all, let's dissect the "Product Info" size chart. After getting pissed off that I had to do math to understand what the fuck any of it means, I finally succeeded in converting that shit into inches and measuring my "bust" to realize, that the the XL would probably fit if they had one in stock. Which they do not. Of course.
Then, I couldn't help but see they've provided their "Women's Wear" sizing chart for all their other products on this page. I can only assume that they've put it here to confuse the shit out of shoppers who can't figure out what size they are and why this chart is different from the "Product Info" chart. And, since when is an XXL equivalent to a fucking US Size 10? Don't we have enough insecure women in the world already? Do we really need for size-10-women to start thinking they are extra EXTRA large?! What the fuck is wrong with these retailers?!
Also, I normally buy XXL clothing... and if I hadn't carefully reviewed this totally asshole-y size chart prior to purchasing, I woulda flipped my shit when my XXL blouse came in and it didn't fucking fit! I'd be all like: well, shit, I guess I'm really NOT extra EXTRA large... I guess I must be a fucking whale!
Bitches.
But, the fun doesn't stop there, y'all. Oh, no. There's much more assholery going on in the retail world. Take, for instance, those condescending bitches at Chicos.com (where the old ladies shop). I found this skirt that I thought I had to have:
It's got crocheted accents... it's cute, flowy, and best of all... has an elastic waist band! So, I clicked around searching for the size chart because they like to confuse the old women who shop there with fancy low numbered sizes. But, I will not be taken by this tom-foolery.
C'mon, now. Did they really think that by calling a size 18 a "3.5" or "L" instead, it would really make me feel skinnier? Do they really think it's helpful for old ladies' self esteem to only have size options between 000-4.5? Or, maybe they think the older women get, the stupider they get and can't possibly remember what their REAL fucking size is?
That's probably it.
Anyway -- needless to say, I got myself all worked up in my quest for fair sizing charts that I didn't end up buying shit.
