Jeans That Don't Fit, Piss Me Off



I was doing a little research on women's jeans and found this page http://www.eons.com/groups/topic/1537000-Jeans-That-Don-t-Fit-Piss-Me-Off-?page=1#replies

Some of my favorite comments include a woman who admits to having a boyish figure and simply resolves to wear men's jeans.  This woman actually feels lucky about because being able to wear men's jeans because they are cheaper and more durable.  She purchases her jeans for $16 at her favorite "boutique," Tractor Supply.

Another comment I loved was from "Whims."  She noted how the problem with women's clothing stems from the "standardized" sizing; 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, & 16.  I have to agree with her.  What the heck does a "6" actually mean?  Six inches?  What?  Please tell me!  Perhaps it's the number of pants you have to try on before you find a pair that you're remotely comfortable with.

Then there was a comment from “Stillblooming” who offered this tidbit of advice: “[f]or any woman size 14 and up, Lane Bryant has wonderful fitting jeans, including straight leg.”  For those of you who don’t know, Lane Bryant is a store specializing in designer plus size clothing.  In my opinion, Lane Bryant also charges about three times as much as it should for all of their clothing, half of which are made for giants!  Seriously.  Giants.  Not just plus sized women (for whom their selection is woefully limited), but women who are nine feet tall with triple E breasts and Sasquatch arms, legs and feet!

Here's a picture of all my jeans; all 21 pairs of my jeans :-) 
 And here's a picture of the three pairs that fit me! And yes, the twenty-one pairs pictured above are all the same "size."  I would have taken pictures to prove it, but I always cut the stupid tags out all my clothes because they're annoying.  They are either sticking out of your shirt or irritating or tickling your skin!  No thank you! 
 Anyway, these jeans are from several different stores and vary in style (boot cut, loose fit, straight leg, etc.), and, as such, vary, I am sure, in reasons for not fitting.  The stack on the left are all too small and the stack on the right are all too big in one way or another; could be the entirely too big, just the length (even if they're average length) and then there's a few where the waist fits fine, but the legs and butt are giant.  I just don't get it!

  1. One day I will win the lottery. And when I do, I will hire a personal tailor to fix mine and your clothes! :) :)

    If my jeans fit my hips and bum, they are 6 inches too wide in the thigh and I resemble MC Hammer. Not pretty. And they are ALWAYS too long by at least 3 inches. Why do the clothing people think a girl with a butt has thunder thighs and is 6 feet tall???
