[lace-chat] Clothes sizes.

[Elizabeth Ligeti]

I bought a t-shirt for DD Helen on Norfolk Island in July - and found that 
her usual size - medium, was tiny, so had to get her XL.(or was it XXL?)  I 
warned her not to have a fit when she saw the size on the label!!!!!!!!  I 
think it just fitted her about right, so going by the size label is useless! 
There is no standard size, unfortunately.

I carry a tiny retractable tape measure as standard equipment in my handbag 
(along with ½ the house!!!) so I go by measurement, nowadays.  I keep a list 
of the underarm measurement when a garment is laid flat, and measure clothes 
in shops.  I get a few strange looks, sometimes - but it works for me!
