So when one woman was faced with the confusion, she decided to not just roll with the punches.
She spoke up, revealing some personal info to let women know that they’re not alone in this struggle for consistency and clarity in clothing sizes.
See how it went down and her awesome response on the next page.
Just ask Lowri Byrne who said she could “barely breathe” when she tried on a dress at H&M that was two sizes bigger than her usual size.
She’s not the first woman to have an issue with H&M. In June 2016, Ruth Clemens spoke out about the store’s sizing in a Facebook post.
“I am not overweight (not that that should matter) and although I’m 5 foot 11 my body is pretty average shape-wise. It’s already difficult enough for me to find clothes that fit well because of my height, why are you making jeans that are unrealistically small? Am I too fat for your everyday range? Should I just accept that accessible and affordable high street and on-trend fashion isn’t for people like me?”
