There’s not many things that are more exhausting than clothes shopping. Or should it be called clothes hunting? Because actually finding something, whether in the real world or online, is difficult.
But perhaps you’ve found something that looks good. You try on the clothing and it fails to fit. You may know your size because you’ve taken your measurements or you know the size based on what you own, but that doesn’t matter. The size is going to be subjective based on variables like country of origin, company, material, designer, and perhaps mood of the label maker. And don’t forget dryer shrinkage.
If you’re in the changing room, no problem, put it on the stack of other people’s failures so someone can put it back on the rack. Or box it up with a return label. Shipping maybe free or cost $7 depending on the return policy that you have to review for every site you visit. Too many returns you might get cancelled by the company and not allowed to make returns or shop there.
How can it be this difficult? The world has treaties and agreements for so many standardized areas like radio frequencies and shipping lanes. Why not clothing sizes?
