One size does not fit all


Today’s New York Times features a story about sizing in the apparel industry.  There is no real standardized practice between designers or retailers now, but a move is afoot to change that.  Click here to read the story.

Implications:   My take-away on this story is focused on consumer frustration while clothes shopping.  If you can be a size ten in one line, but go to another store and wear a size 000, one must wonder why this issue has not been addressed before.  (And one might now better understand why many women pick a favorite designer or brand in clothing, and then tend to stick with it.)
