I really don't know how I feel about this. I was looking to see what the hours were for Value Village -- which is a chain of big thrift stores in the area -- and I was lured into clicking the "How to shop our stores" link. One tip was not to rely on size tags, since things weren't new and might have shrunk. But that with pants, to see if the pants are about your size, "wrap the waistband around the neck - if the ends touch comfortably, they will more than likely fit." I went to my closet and tried it out. Yep. Sure 'nuff. Forty years old, twenty-five years of shopping if the Realm of Madness which is women's pants size labels ... and they only just now tell me? It's Goober trivia, sure -- but I suspect it's gonna be be very handy goober trivia. |

Wrap the pant's waistband around your neck, don't put your head into the pants. 2 necks = 1 waist. (I.e., the pants should closed/doubled.) But if you do decide to go into a thrift store and put your head into pants to see if the pants fit, bring a friend with a video camera. I wanna see that on YouTube. |
