What is wrong with the world today, Part I

[featherynscale]

I have size 10 clothes in the closet that fit fine, and size 14 clothing that is too small.

Is just a little bit of standardization in women's clothing sizes too much to ask? You know, actually relating the size number to some measurement? If you're a man, and you're wondering why it takes women so much longer to buy clothes than it does you, I'm guessing that's part of your answer right there.

Yup. For casuals, I have a pretty gender-neutral wardrobe. Guys' clothes often fit better, and generally are more likely to be colors that don't offend my eyes. Still, Utili-kilts aside, it's a little difficult to find men's skirts, and skirts seem to be the uniform of the day for job interviewing.

I've got some skirts that should fit you...and they'd go with black tops. Hardly any of them have flowers.

And in our spare time, we could re-calibrate some patterns and actually construct clothing for you. Imagine -- styles and fabrics you pick for yourself! We could label every one of them size "luscious."
