Silly fashion fads...
Over fall break, I finally tried on "the best fitting pants in America" - the Editor pants from Express. At the time, Express wasn't having any sort of sale but my shopping buddies Michelle and Shana were off trying stuff on so I figured I might as well do the same since I was there. (I'd also never seen myself in pinstripe pants, and was curious.)I'm normally a size 5-6 in pants because my pelvis is huge compared to the rest of my body (and I still have no waist - how stupid), but when I went into the dressing room to try on a 6, the saleslady took one look at me and said, "Oh, you aren't a size 6 in those. More like a 4" and went off to look for smaller sizes.
It has happened that people underestimate how big my hipbone is, because my pant size has been guessed at size 3, so I figured that it was the same thing again...
The saleslady was right. The 6 hung off me. I looked like a punk skateboarder, almost. She came back with two other pants and I tried one on without looking at the size. It fit okay, but it was definitely no miracle (and definitely not worth the $68 pricetag). Then after Shana asked what size it was, I looked at the tag.
Size 2. Jeezus! Talk about your vanity sizing..
