Sizing on clothes for women and teenage girls is evil and terribly inconsistent.
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yes! Isn't that weird. It also used to be called "Missy" which made me oddly skeeved out!
Me too, it also used to make me think it must be for juniors, not adults, because it sounds so twee.
We're trying a mishmash of sizes because nothing's consistent even within a single brand. Junior sizes have been a complete failure so far, and I don't think I've even seen misses.
That makes it so hard.
At any rate, I meant look in the adult department, rather than the juniors department, whatever they're calling us all these days.
As one who once had a really small waist and round hips, the straight-on even numbered sizes fit me better than either the odd numbered sizes, or the combo sizes (like 5/6 or 7/8).
I hate bras but have to wear them my life TOTALLY changed when I discovered these: [link]
Scrappy, I go back and forth between that one and these

these are my stay at home and sleep bras. I can't be comfortable with nothing, but these have few seams and last awhile before I stretch them out too much. Trying to find comfortable, fitting bras is a huge challenge. I'm in the beyond 3 D territory. Not that they are any wonder to look at. they are just overly large bags of tissue at this point.
Ple I bought some cozy bras and I like them great for home/day off. Not for work though because of nipples showing.
Matthew's mom got a Christmas tree. It's quite with multi colored lights. Scrappy discovered it and scaled it. There is video on FB.
I have a confession. I didn't vote in the local election today. I am not registered in SC yet because I don't have my car registered and a driver's license. I had the money but had to put it toward car repairs and I'm getting it done this month.
SC is not cheap, if you bring a car into the state there is a $250 one time fee Everyone has to pay property tax in their cars every year so I have to pay that. And fines for being late and the actual registration and license. Before I moved down here I was talking to someone who paid over $400 to get their car and license.
I have no idea what the yearly property taxes will be. Matthew's is $50 and then he has to pay for his registration for the year. You would think SC would have amazing roads but it doesn't. Anyway I feel guilty for not voting but I would have gotten this taken care of if it was the Primary.
Also SC has no early voting. Everyone has to vote in person on Tuesday unless they got the requirements for an absentee ballot.
Askye, if it makes you feel better, I just literally forgot. I am too stressed and spaced it. It was not as big a deal as spacing my apartment inspection.
In re bras, I am sort of in love with Third Love, because they fixed the falling off my shoulder issue. I like u derrières, but I also like to be all tucked in everywhere ( I like tights and pantyhose, too). When I lost weight, I went from a 42 F to a 36F, probably a 34 now, so it was a challenge.
I should investigate Third Love because I've never been able to get a proper fit. Even when someone measures me I have to get a way different size than what the measurements said.
I wear various super-supportive sports bras to sleep in, but I'm just busty enough in my regular waking life (and devoted enough to vintage wear that requires a specific silhouette) that I generally stick with the wired-but-shockingly-comfortable Waocoal bras ita always recommended.

By the time I was 12, I had an adult-type waist/hip ratio, and I was 4'8". There was zero chance that junior sizes were ever going to fit me, even in the baggy jean nineties.
