News flash: we don’t all fit perfectly into every article of clothing in every store by every brand! Shocking, I know. Sarcasm aside, the fact is that most stuff is made in “generic” measurements. I use the term loosely, because, as you may have also figured out, these generic measurements can vary significantly by brand, garment type, cut, style, even colour, if you can imagine (consider light wash jeans – they tend to fit looser don’t they?)
