Quick Post on Sizing

My pet peeve for today? Inaccurate sizing/sizing charts.

Mum and I need new bathrobes. Here's is very thing on the butt area (tmi? Never mind) and mine is even older and generally ratty and stained with hair dye. I managed to find some on eBay here and according to the size chart it should have fit and the smaller size should have fit mum with room to spare. I ordered them, purple for me, teal for mum. They arrived this morning... Yeah not gonna work at all. The larger size only just works for mum so I'm returning the small one.

I then took to eBay again trying to find something a bit bigger but all that I could find was ones around the same size or if they did my size e.g. Yours Clothing they were fleece which while nice isn't the best material for putting on after your shower. Towelling all the way! So then I took to Google and it brought up a result for Amazon which was way too big (60"+ chest), way too expensive (about £40) and white - not advisable when you semi-regularly dye your hair dark purple - but there was a link below to the gorgeous Cadbury purple you see here which in XL is a bit too big but the only other size available is Medium which is too small so I'm going to do a sod it and buy the too big one and have done with it. If it's drastically too big my mum can take it in - she's a bit of a sewing whizz - and it adds to the cuddle factor anyway :D

Anyway til next time (whenever that'll be XD) actually it hopefully won't be too long as I do have another post planned which needs to be written but it's a case of working myself up to writing it as it's about women's health and my recent experience.
