I quite agree - I am a very strange shaped person, the upper half of my body can fit in a boys 18-20 fairly well, the lower half needs a ladies 10 short rise 32" inseam (or a Petite sz 10 with extra leg length). I need boy's shirts because they have 4 extra inches in the torso, 3 extra inches across the shoulders, and 2" longer sleeve length.
The distance from my hip bone to my natural waist is only 3" - most comercially made jeans have a 5-6" distance. And I won't tell you about my scooped back, protrouding tummy, and extra long torso. BTW I am a 40 yr old 5' 6" woman!!! Once I joined the SCA I found out that I have the skills to create simple dresses made to *MY* measurements. Too bad I can't find anything off-the-rack to fit me.... <sigh> If anyone can tell me where to find cheap jeans for a men's 48x30 I would apopreciate it. Katheryne From: monica spence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The problem is that many stores have a fit model and makes everything to fit that one person or dressform. Where many stores or clothing lines start trying to service many sizes, but when it doesn't fit the image they drop the sizes. For instance, the Limited does not sell men's pants larger than size 36. It seems to me that there is an awfully large market for clothes for those of us who are not "perfect"...
