... in size!
I find that most jeans or any type of pants I purchase I have to take in at the hips. Why is it that manufactures of clothing think that us women are all the same in size? I'd love to walk into a store, try on a pair of jeans and not have to hem them, alter them or just leave them on the shelf. Oh well, such is life and at this age you'd think that I'd be accustomed to being not so tall and having to hem or alter my clothes. I guess when I get rich and famous I can have my clothes made especially for me, in the interim at least I know how to sew!
I have the opposite problem - finding jeans long enough.
ReplyDeletelol, I am a short ar$e and can never find trousers to fit me. The legs are always too long, I guess I should by shorts to get the right lenght in the leg!?
ReplyDeleteHope you have an excellent weekend.
Si
just proves you're unique!
ReplyDeleteif only we didn't come in so many sizes...
we have a dress shop here that makes only custom clothing, you choose the style and fabric. so beautiful, but oh so pricey!
I have a problem too. Why couldn't I have been born rich instead of impossibly good looking?
ReplyDeleteLife is so unfair.
Pam, you should come shopping here. It seems that ALL jeans come in 33" long!
ReplyDeleteSi, you're hilarious! The pants I was taking in at the hips last night are just about the right length, just a tad bit short. They're supposed to come to the knee! lol
Lucy that sounds fabulous, I'm like LL though, born impossibly good looking instead of rich! Now that is hilarious!
LL you got me laughing, you are so funny even at 6:21am!
Have an awesome weekend everyone!
At least you can sew. I have fought many a battle with the machine. I want to be a man in my next life. They just go in and grab their waist size and inseam and off they go. Are we just built oddly?
ReplyDeleteLucy - everyone is impossibly good looking to someone!
ReplyDeleteJudy - Being a man already, it came naturally, I can say that I have never found ladies to be oddly built, far from!
Si
Judy, it seems that some men just think that's the size they are. They get their jeans home and once they put them on the butt of the pants is sometimes nearing their knees but hey, they fit good! lol I don't think that we're built so oddly, never had a complaint yet anyways, I think that it's time women started designing a woman's clothes is all. I know that I'm a lot more choosy what I wear than any man I've ever met... okay MOST men I've met! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSi, it was LL that said that and I'm agreeing with him... LL see what you started! LOL But it's true Si, we all are impossibly good looking to someone! And I guess that I will say thank you Si for that roundabout compliment! ;-)
Cheers!
Darlin - what about men who's bums are down by the knees, I guess they think they have tight fitting jean on then!?
ReplyDeleteO and it is always a pleasure to complement a pretty lady no stop reading between the lines lol.
Si
Si, I call those men plumbers! And I'm sure that you can get a visual from that comment! lol
ReplyDeleteI no longer read between the lines, without my glasses on I can barely read the lines so why would I even attempt to read between them?
Cheers!
Who would have thought that a post about me making my pants fit would be so hilarious? lol
I now have a very wanted mental image of a plumber at work, not good. Well that is all from me, have a good weekend and thank you for making my afternoon have a fun side.
ReplyDeleteSi x
Thank you for the morning chuckles, have a great evening Si!
ReplyDeleteBut isn't it a fantastic thing in life when you do find that pair of jeans that fits just right?! A rare occurance, but sublime. Lucky jeans work for me.
ReplyDeleteOh does it ever feel good, too bad it's such a rare occurrence. I'm going to have to google Lucky jeans and check them out, thanks Sherry.
ReplyDeleteNice photo actually and take it easy on the Jeans Manufacturers - LOL - I heard that they are only human :-D :-D :-D
ReplyDeleteGreetz,
Joseph
As my hands grow not from a right place for sure, I usually take my jeans to seamstress (new word today!) to cut the length.
ReplyDeleteWhen women wear sweat pants that have the word "JUICY" across the rear, is it merely advertisement?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought the first time I saw it and said to myself, "well isn't that nice?"
Men aren't perfect. Far from it. However I haven't seen a guy wearing levis with "Juicy" across the bum yet.
I thought the same time the first time I saw the word, "Pink" across the seat of a lady's sweat pants. I thought it was nice that she was so open and informative. A lot of women won't give you details like that even after a drink or two.
ReplyDeleteLL - I would have expected the words "Wide load" rather than "Juicy" lol
ReplyDeleteSi
Good thing I'm playing catch up else I might have missed all this hilarity - all because of a sewing machine! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf it were up to men to do clothes shopping, we'd be in a deep economic recession. I mean, how many suits, or pairs of shoes do guys need ? When is the last time you heard a guy say "Wow, I'd better get a new shirt for that party Friday!"
Good that you can sew Darlene - seems like a fading skill (none of my 3 daughters can). So even though you can't buy jeans that fit exactly, you can still make them so.
Have a great weekend!
Joseph, I would beg to differ that the manufactures are "only human"... they're most likely machines and it's the machines who get it all wacky in my opinion, it's that or blame men for making ladies jeans... you pick! lol
ReplyDeleteOh and Joseph, thank you for the compliment on my photo, who would have thought! :-)
Irina, that's awesome that you can take your jeans to a seamstress, not me... I'm a starvin' student! lol (That's my excuse for being to cheap to pay $9 0r $10 just to hem my pants.)
LL I'm sure that I've seen cowboys in Wrangles that fit real nice say "juicy" on the back of them, or was I just thinking that? hmmm will get back to you on that one after Rodeo season is done here in Alberta!
I sure wouldn't wear pants that say "juicy" or "pink" on them, that's despicable, did a man make them as well? IF I were to wear a pair of sweats that said anything across the rear end it would be "What r u lookin at?" I had to shorten the words, no big butts here.... or as Si so eloquently put it no "wide loads" here.
Si, is it all those "bangers" that the ladies eat there that give them a "wide load"? lol (sorry couldn't resist that one!)
Hi Rick, how are you doing? Glad you could make it over here in time to get a good chuckle, and yes all over a sewing machine and me taking in my jeans... go figure! lol I am going to guess that most men would say that they only need one pair of dress shoes, a black pair cause black goes with everything. Am I right? And NO black does NOT go with everything... good thing you guys have us ladies to help you out! lol
I am grateful that I have learned how to sew Rick, I taught myself and even had to read the instructions way back when on how to thread the machine, today it's where's my glasses so that I can see where the needle hole is. My how times have changed.
Well it's one in the morning so I'd best get my photo posted.
Have a wonderful day everyone... or night if you're still up!
Same same here and its only gotten worst.
ReplyDeleteI'm a small guy and I live in a country with the tallest people in the world (the Netherlands). So, you know how I feel every time I need a new jeans or clothes.
Well, I'll give you a hint on how I solve my problem: "children's quarter".
M. that's an awesome idea, unfortunately with age and the shift that occurs I no longer can purchase childrens clothing, I used to do that all the time and it worked just fine. Such is life, it's a small problem in the bigger picture but one of those irritations in life.
ReplyDeleteOf course black goes with everything - everything that I buy, that is (my wife makes sure it goes with black ;-) Anything more than 1 pair of dress shoes would be wasting good money!
ReplyDeleteRick, I think that I've heard that before! lol I on the other hand can't even imagine only having one pair of dress shoes or for this time of year a lady can never have to many pairs of sandals, winter it's the boots and there's the cowboy boots living in Alberta oh ya and the inbetween seasons well that's another story! :-)
