I just assume anything I buy will need to be taken in, and budget accordingly. It sucks , and that adds $10-50 onto the cost of every new piece I buy, but at least stuff fits. That's part of why I don't buy much new stuff any more (I really need to learn to sew!)  ; the other reason is, I can't remember the last time I saw a fashion trend and thought, I can';t wait to buy and wear that. Fashion's had a serious case of the uglies for a long time now, not least because everything seems to be  designed to "flatter" lardasses, at least based on what I see in the unsolicited catalogs clogging my mailbox.
