While shopping at the mall over the weekend I became frustrated with trying to find some new clothing..... it's hard to find things that look right when you put them on and when you find something you like it doesn't fit correctly. Who makes this stuff anyway?


Peeve: “Off the rack” clothing that doesn’t fit right. You simply get something close and then have it
altered or tailored. Give me a break.

That seems to be a problem with many clothes these days. I wear a size S but have to buy a size L in shirts so when they shrink in the washer, they'll be down to my size. And I dont even use a dryer!

This is a HUGE peeve of mine ... All these cute dresses and skirts are made for TALL skinny minnies! Honey at least half of US women are too short to wear these so why don't the stupid clothing makers make clothing appropriate for Tally Mollies and us Petite Patties

Yes it's crazy, you have to try on everything, and I hate that! It doesn't matter what size you wear, it may or may not fit

The best 'off the rack' jeans I've bought in recent years were out of the back of some guy's truck seriously - they fit better than any I've bought in a store and only cost me like 5 bucks - I bought 3 pair lol

I'm like W.W. I just buy all my tops large, then they shrink down to the right size after washing!

It's most likely made in China and it's crappy fabric and sized to fit a culture that is much smaller than most people in the USA.

My peeve is that you can't find anyone to alter/tailor those outfits! Where do we find a good seamstress these days? Whereeeeeeeeeee?
