Ladies, can we all agree that bridesmaid dress sizing is utter bullshit? I’m “normal” and my usual dress size isn’t even CLOSE with measurements. 😫

Sizing in general is random for women’s clothing since it isn’t actually tied to standardized units of measure. I’ve worn size 4, 6, 8, and 10 while being the exact same weight across different brands and types of clothes 🤷‍♀️

Same with wedding dresses! It probably helps feed the diet industry.

I’m sure there’s a reason, not necessarily a good one, why women’s sizes aren’t standardized. 🤔 But it would be appreciated to have some consistency.

I used to work in bridal and what they don’t usually say is that whatever size you are in your regular clothing, you should go up 2, sometimes 3 sizes in wedding and bridesmaid dresses.
