If I buy something expecting a certain size, and it isn't, so it's of no use to me, I return it, get a refund, and never buy their badly made clothes again. Are you still wearing the same size you did 30 years ago, thank vanity sizing. If you were wearing nappies 30 years ago, your time will come. It really works in reverse. I don't know how womens' sizes work but men's are nominally the waist circumference. If you buy size 36 jeans from XXX and they don't fit, you switch to YYY. In fact XXX jeans are really 36" and YYY jeans are 38 in the real world but you feel XXX is skimping. If you see 'relaxed fit' all bets are off. The most sensible idea is to have all the sizes true and comparable, then I can simply buy something from any shop the same size (or one bigger) than a label on something I have at home. Any shop who sells me something in a size I don't expect (too large or too small) has it returned with an angry complaint, then I shop elsewhere. And they just yawn and cheer when they realise you wont be back. No, Yep. they lose money on returns Nope. They do if the garment isn't resellable, They wont give you a refund if it isnt. Wrong, if it's the wrong size it's as good as faulty. or if it's bought online and they have to pay postage. and no future sales. Plenty of other fools and they never see you again, hence the big party. Plenty of folk read reviews. **** all take any notice of you saying that what clothes you bought didn't fit you. Yes they do. Bad reviews severely deplete custom. |
