All Clothes
In today’s world, every brand of clothing has a different way of sizing. One person’s size 12 can be another person’s size 10 and what may be listed at mid-thigh length according to the brand may actually be high or lower thigh depending on the wearer. When factoring in the wear of a garment, the measures could definitely vary from the original purchased garment. By listing the most important measurements, I hope to give the buyer a little more confidence in their purchase since it can’t be tried on first.
