Don't rain on my parade....these pants are a size 10. Who cares if
they are vanity sized. I was just wearing a 12 in the same style pants
before lunch. I ordered a 10 to hopefully get into them. They arrived
by UPS at lunch so I changed. So vanity sizing or not, I am in a
smaller size. And I feel good. Except for the fact that I can't
breathe. Give me some simple pleasures babe. I am not asking for much.
The joy of a flower, the laugh of a child, the sun, the moon and
wearing a size 10.

Well gee! just go out and buy a label and you can be in a size 4 and
still breathe.

Do you also care about shoe size? Vanity sizing has hit women's shoes
big time.

I guess I just feel that sozes are just there to give you an easier
shot at finding something that fits. Waht the label actually says seems
irrelevant if the item fits. And of course having a right size label
and il fitting garment makes little sense so.... .

That is not true....I still have GIANT FEET...and they are not going to
get smaller no matter how hard I exercise. I was born with big feet.
When I was a size 3, a hundred years ago, I wore the same size shoe.
HUGE!!!!!!!!!!

PS...Can you tell my boss is out of the office today.

The Chinese had a solution for you :-) It's called something like "bind
to fit" and you too can have smaller feet.
