I shouldn't be a size 4 I'm a young woman. I wanted to get some sweat pants for my PMS days, when I've been known to bloat up to 2 inches and lay on the floor in agony. Saw a cute pair of jeans while doing this and decided to try them on. On a normal day my measurements are 34-27-36. When I'm on my period it amps up to 36-28-36. I figured with a sale maybe I could get some period jeans to go with the sweat pants.So I try them on with my fat day measurements. I had to wear a size FOUR in those jeans. FAT DAY JEANS. I'm also 5'8" so while they were a massive four, they were also 2 inches too short in the leg. I'm so annoyed. I started crying in the store because it feels so terrible to know that I'm being lied to like this. I know people that don't think vanity sizing is a real thing, and have told me to embrace being "smaller sizes" and it hurts to know that people would rather live in blind ignorance. That's all. TLDR; tried on pants in size 4 that kind of fit, i should be closer to a size 8, maybe canadians should lay off the poutine.
