Does The Dress Fit?

Looking for a new dress can be as easy as ABC or become a nightmare of endless trips between changing rooms and the post office. Don’t get me wrong I love trying on clothes, but when the dress you’re looking for is not quite right then it really takes the enjoyment out of it. While looking for a new dress for an event this weekend I realised that not only was finding the right style and shape a challenge but being in between sizes proves a much harder challenge. You know when you see those girls who look like their dress is just that bit too tight but they have squeezed themselves into it – I feel I have become one of them! Now I know what these girls could be going through – the dreaded saying ’I am in between sizes’.

What do you do when you feel slightly too big for one size but definitely too small for the size up? My friend’s response was, either loose weight or go eat some cake! Either of which I don’t actually mind – hence why I am probably in this scenario. It is even worse when your size varies from shop to shop. There is one solution, which all retailers and suppliers would firmly reject – tolerances may vary within sizes. Have you ever tried on 3 different dresses but each the same style and size? Your answer is probably no, because why would you think to do that. Interestingly you can try on 3 X smalls and one may be just that bit tighter or looser than the other. Blame it on the person who stretched it before you did, or poor craftsmanship, but either way you get the perfect dress. I will be on the hunt for my perfect version of a ZARA dress this Friday – wish me luck!
