  NYT Article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/25/business/25sizing.html

  Article's Main Points: There is no standard women's clothing size.  Should there be more "fits"? & there is a machine at KOP that scans you body to figure out the best fitting and size clothes for you at stores.

   

  seriously?  I'm definitely going to seek that out!  I wonder if it's a marketing scheme of some sort to get you to shop at the more high-end stores.  I try to avoid those

  according to the article it will only list stores that have the best fit for you, and will not accept money from stores to just put their pants on there.

  I just did this! You stand in the maching that goes around you a couple of times. When you get out, they hand you a little slip that has a barcode to scan in one of their kiosks. Once you scan it, it lists what store, style and size you should buy. The lady infront of me had pages of options. I had 2 stores, each with 1 option. My mom had 0 options.

  The 2 stores I was "fitted" to were Gap and Old Navy

  ZERO options would so be my luck.

   

  i am giving the levis they mention on here a chance. i always have the worst plumbers crack and they suggest the extreme curve jean.
