I really appreciated this post — I was baptized just over a year ago and start Temple Prep classes next week.

Yeah, the sizing… :-( We kept being told that the Church continually does surveys to try to redefine the sizing charts. Strangely, those charts never seem to change even with the constant “readjustments” (who is filling out their surveys?), but those charts are what we’re trained to go by: we are not allowed to tell customers to go two or three sizes down – we can only tell the customers “This is the recommended size for your measurements.” Of course, everyone working there knows that in the modern world of American fashion, people just don’t wear clothing that loose anymore but we’re told in no uncertain terms that we cannot give our opinion on garments because it would limit the customer’s choice.

Now that I don’t work there anymore (although my wife does now, which is kinda cool) I’m not afraid to say it: if you are a woman don’t depend on the sizing chart and don’t be afraid to go a size or two down! (Us men, strangely, don’t have nearly as many problems with the sizing charts)

That was a riot!

I had the same issue with the oversizing. The charts are so off – Natalie’s right, 3 sizes smaller than your dress size is a pretty good estimate. I actually enjoy that, only in garment world can I wear a size Small top! :D

Don’t they do that anymore?
