128. People who sew have always used MEASUREMENTS..not the "size"

People today are fixated on the size number.. That's a PHONY number anymore, because they are no longer standardized, and mean NOTHING..

If you go to a men's department they have the same sizes they always have had..

34-waist 36-inseam... It's not called a 2 or a 6 or a 10

shirts are measured neck-sleeve for long sleeved, and there are many combinations available

..........

Women/girls/teens have always been made to choose clothes that "assigned an image" to them before they even tried it on..

"junior-petite"
"junior"
"missy"
"misses"
"women"
"plus"

and to top it off, in recent years, there is NO STANDARDIZED sizing to go along with those names..
