One of the biggest secrets in the fashion industry (and among very savvy fashionista shoppers) is... the sizes on clothes don't really matter. Gasp you say, but I have always been a perfect size 000 what do you mean the sizes don't matter!
In an age where a woman's dress size seems to matter more than her IQ it is a well know fact in the fashion industry that almost no woman is willing to go up a size or two (or four) to get the correct fit. We all know of women that if they found the perfect dress, in the perfect colour and fit would refuse to buy it if the label showed 4 sizes larger than she usually wore. (You can almost hear them shriek...I'm NOT a size....).
For women that care more about fit than size numbers this secret is a huge money saver. These women are the ones that know that even if they are a size 10 they have no qualms about strolling over to the size 16 clearance rack to see if there is anything there that will fit them.
