Legit though! Iām a hobbyist seamstress and these are my experiences when shopping mainstream:
For example, most H&M blouses these days donāt even have boobdarts. Which means they will sit awkwardly on literally anyone with boobs, no matter the size. But on hangers or when folded on display? They look fab as fuck. Because hangers donāt have boobs. And the models chosen to show them on the catwalk are usually chosen for their lack of boobage too (unless itās for lingerie), other requirements including ridiculous size and weight requirements. As for the average (EU available) clothing shops, the worst offender Iāve encountered yet was Zara. Everythingās way too long and way too flat: clearly aimed to look good on the catwalk models but not intended for normal people. At all.
Also sizes are just numbers. Shopping online has taught me that Iām a European M, an American XS-S, and a Japanese L-XL. And then these sizes even vary from shop to shop in the same country: Iām an XL at Apples but an S at Lola&Liza, for example. Theyāve also been reducing the sizes of these numbers throughout the years to make people feel bad about themselves and to sell more weight-loss products. Donāt let a number get you down, it does not define you.
So please donāt feel bad about yourself when shops refuse to cater to your size. The clothes they sell are not aimed at real human beings. They are the ones in the wrong here, not you!
