clothing sizes

I need to go to Nordstrom! After almost a year of breastfeeding, I definitely need to be refitted.

I think a new wardrobe from Ann Taylor and Anthropologies sounds like a fabulous reward for what we put up with - although if I wait that long I'll be wearing rags by the time we're done! 8)

My favorite "trade" (getting a little off-subject, I admit) is a carat a year. I'm due 6! I told dh that 6 in a single stone would just be garish, so 1.5 on each ear, plus 2 c in a ring w/another 1 on the neck would be PERFECT!

I'm at 6 too. Maybe we can get a matching set. Or a bulk discount. :>

Cheri, you must be my long lost twin. I use the exact same strategy when shopping for clothes because I simply don't enjoy going to the brick and mortar stores. The clothes usually fit but I can always send them back if they're the wrong size

I have a great VS experience. Every year at Easter I give my girls an Easter basket with new sleepwear and chocalate and bath products. VS usually has really cute tank tops and boxers pajamas. I used to go to VS. The last time I was there I asked if they had a certain item in x-small and she looked at me and said " are you sure you don't want to try a larger size?" I just mumbled no, and paid and left

I was stunned. I wish I had said "no you stupid F@#%, I'm sure I can fit into this with enough effort". and then walk out.

Oh Yeh! I like this idea MUCH better - do we get to count fellowship and medical school too - or just residency?

If its residency only I get 7 + fellowship is 8 + medical school is 13!

Woo hoo!



(I'm telling my DH about this as I type and he is just rolling his eyes!)

I'd pay to watch you do that, Luanne. Can we go back some time for an iMSN field trip?

One time I bought a bra (Body by Victoria) at VS that actually DID fit properly (the middle thingie was flat against my chest like it is supposed to be) although it didn't really provide enough support. Alas, the wire came out of it on one side after about a month. I had always handwashed it, etc., so I took it back.....still had the receipt. The bitch at the store told me she could tell by looking at me that the bra was too small and THAT is why the wire had come out. WTH?

I didn't say anything, but I have never been back.

Wow, Heidi is going to be doing a whole lot of driving this month. I think we should just go directly to Columbus, OH where the corporate offices are. and if Kelly's mom is still working for them, we'll just go to the Big Wig's office and slap them around. (thus avoiding the people who would no doubt be insulted by the sales twits, too)

I can visualize it. A bunch of pissed off medical spouses, with the wrong sizsed bras, packed into a bus, driven by Heidi and descending on the corporate headquarters!

oh - the mental image .... those poor folks in Columbus won't even know what hit 'em.

I assume we'll be going braless

Hell ya! We'll be swinging them above our heads!

BTW Heidi ... they own Lane Bryant, too.

I could take someone OUT with my girls!

I love this conversation!!!!!

I am the Amazon that they lengthen pants for. In order to wear heels or boots I need a 36/37 inch inseam. The sizing is a mystery. I love how I can walk out of Old Navy with a size 10 item and a size 14 item, both fitting perfectly. (she says sarcastically). After having the boy, I too have found a zen about sizes...I gotta wear what looks good, regardless of what size it is.
