I am extremely short, on top of being full-figured (yay for me), and I have never, ever purchased a pair of pants that my grandma has not had to hem for me. She has honestly been hemming my pants for twenty-two years. Poor thing. I have no idea why there is no such thing as someone short and not thin, or someone tall and not thin, or someone short and thin. There is just tall and thin in the fashion/clothing industry. Am I the only one who finds this obscenely inconsiderate and disturbing? And this goes for both genders, not just females. I know males also have their fair share of clothing woes.
I agree about the process. I hate it. I hated shopping even as a teenage girl, and I hate it even more now. I swear by online shopping these days. I do leave the house, of course, but I just never go to malls. Keeps the blood pressure down!
