Episode 21: More Bad Rompers, 5-7-9, and So Much Disappointment: Sizing with Meredith (part I)

Episode 21: More Bad Rompers, 5-7-9, and So Much Disappointment: Sizing with Meredith (part I)

You know how it goes when you’re shopping. You go into that store that you shop all the time and you grab your usual size in a few things. You go in the fitting room and….one thing is too big, one is just right, another one is falling off your shoulders but you can’t zip it, the next is flattening your boobs and you can’t lift your arms...but they are the same size. How does that happen? It makes you feel kinda terrible, right?

Technical designer and fit/sizing expert Meredith joins us untangle the mysteries of sizing. She will explain the history of sizing and how it has gone off the rails in the last few decades. And why it's still a long way from perfect!

This is part one of two. In our next episode with Meredith, we will be talking about the process of fitting a garment and how the industry is doing everything wrong when it comes to extended sizing.
