Did you know that in Australia our clothing sizing is one of the most inconsistent in the world?

Every retailer has their own way of measuring for each size and often that revolves around one fit model and they then add or remove fabric length depending on the size. This is why very few people genuinely can buy off the shelf and have it fit perfectly without the need to alter.

We also know that you can be a different size across all retailers so my advice is always to try on prior to purchasing and if you ordered online then return or exchange if the size is not right. Items that don’t fit, don’t get worn and make for a waste of money.

If you do worry about size then I say cut the label out of the garment, so you never need to see it again. I promise no one will ever come up to you and say “I love that size 14 jacket you are wearing” instead they will say “I love that jacket”.

Size truly is irrelevant. Instead focus on the fit and the feel - select what makes you feel comfortable and confident and not choose a size that you think you need to be wearing.
