Today I walked into an Abercrombie store in my local mall looking for timeless and versatile articles of clothing. After trying on different pieces, I decided on a dress. I realized that I'm always looking for dresses for different occasions and I didn't own many versatile, timeless dresses. After falling in love with one, in a size Medium I continued to look through the store, trying on different dresses in that same size. After trying on a couple more dresses I started to realize that sizes started to vary depending on the dress style and my figure. Although a medium fit me comfortably in the loose-fitting dresses, the more form fitting dresses with the stiffer material dresses I had to go a size up for them to fit comfortable. Moral of the story is that if I wouldn't have tried them on, I would have gone home with dresses in the wrong size that didn't fit me well at all. In addition to that, I wouldn't have noticed that they were in the wrong size until I decided to wear the dress therefore, I wouldn't have been able to return it. This is why it's so incredibly important to try EVERYTHING on before purchasing. The same article of clothing can vary in sizing because of design, production, clothing store, the designer, and so on. Pictured is the dress that started it all.
