Remember when Amway was selling clothes years ago?
I bought a swimsuit that was
pretty decent so I can say that I actually bought one product that Amway sells
that I did not hate. Hell, I liked that swimsuit enough that if Amway still
sold them I might have bought another one.
Not the same story for a pair of pants that Ambot bought for me which I didn’t
really want, but you know all the bullshit upline plugs into you about buy from
your own store.... I rock a size 0 in skinny jeans but depending on the cut I
could be up a size, so Ambot started with a size 6 pair of Amway pants which
were the smallest size available. Just a regular looking pair of casual pants
but nothing I would have bought if I’d seen them in the store. May have had a
checker or houndstooth pattern to them. I tried them on. Couldn’t fasten them
up, too tight in the waist. Ambot sent them back and exchanged for a size 8.
Same problem. Too tight in the waist. Couldn’t fasten them. Ambot wants to
exchange for the next size up. I tell him forget it. The pants aren’t that
great anyway. But he doesn’t listen and one day he presents me with a size 10
pair of pants. I’m not happy but I try them on and like the other pairs they
are exactly the same waist size as the other two smaller pairs - too tight and
won’t fasten. I tell him there is obviously a problem with Amway’s clothing
line. Normally when you buy larger clothing sizes they are, well larger, and a
looser fit than the size down. If I put on a size 10 pair of normal pants they’d
be sliding right off me. Shit! Right now in my closet I have two shorts that
are size 2, the smallest size available when I was shopping. They both slide
right off me so I have to wear a belt.
Back to those shitty Amway
pants. Every single one of these pants had the same waist size although as the
sizes went up the hips and thighs were roomier.
Um, here’s a big clue Amway. When a clothing size number goes up, all
dimensions have to change. You can’t leave the waist a tiny size and make the
hips larger as the size numbers go higher. Perhaps this is why Amway is no
longer in the business of selling clothing?
But Ambot is determined. He exchanges the pants again and presents me with a
size 12. You guessed it, they were too small too. I thought that would be the
end of it until he shows up with a size 14.
“Forget it!” I tell him. “I am not going to try those damn pants on again! It
doesn’t matter what size you get they’ll never fit!”
And ladies you get this. Who wants to wear clothes that are up 10 sizes than
what you normally wear? Like what the fuck!
Men clearly don’t get it when it comes to women’s clothing sizes.
Finally Ambot gets a clue that I am not going to wear a piece of clothing in the
double digit sizes and gets a refund. And the fucking assholes in our Amway
upline lose some bonus points.
Those morons in Amway probably assumed that no matter what size a woman's hips are, she's bound to have a wasp waist.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I have never seen such horrible clothing sizes in my life. I mean all us women know "one size fits all" is the biggest lie in the fashion industry but essentially have a pair of pants in one size with different size labels on it is just as lousy!
