I assumed every woman , by the time she gets married, already knew that but reading so much REEEEEE on fph about fatzilla brides being "sized incorrectly" shows I was wrong. Honestly, watching these pigs trying to human is like watching an animal walk around on its hind legs.  So clearly, these Shehams aren't buying "real" formals for prom & college events (i remember freaking out at 15 when I was trying on formals & I was 3-6 sizes larger than my clothes). From my experience, formal stores actively discourage ordering a size (or more) down from what you're fitted as.  Maybe we need to train up our boys to stay strong in the face of ham: don't ask it to prom, don't invite it to formal, & for the love of god don't wife it up.
