That might be possible for accessories (handbags), jewellery, or scarves, but I don't think it is possible for “real” clothes.Paul Anilprem wrote:. . . buy one that she likes on your own.

The first thing what she asked was: "did you keep the receipt?".
I think we didn't speak for a day afterwards.
Not on this side of the Pond, then. Blouse sizes vary greatly from shop to shop; the last time we did any shopping it was, “I'm a size XYZ,” and size XYZ − 4 actually fitted. As I said, she has to try the clothes on.Randy Maddocks wrote:. . . sweaters or shirts "seem" to be a safe bet . . . because the sizes aren't confusing to me . . .
You can't digest it. You have to grit your teeth and fling yourself headlong into the shopping. Or let the ♀s go all by themselves.Still trying to digest Campbell's post............

I also think I ought to try these blouses; my daughter confessed to “borrowing” my shirts when she didn't have a clean school blouse. But that was years ago.
Or let the ♀s go all by themselves.
They are actually not that different from American sizes, I think. Women's sizes always go up in 2s, so my − 2 from earlier means two sizes smaller. There is more difference between shops and between websites than there is across the Pond. But I took some time to work out that shirts are furnishings and what I thought was an ordinary shirt is a dress shirt.Randy Maddocks wrote:. . .

But even now, the Missus says I am helpful when shopping because I can tell very quickly what suits her and what doesn't....and us guys can go for a pint.
An experienced and honest salesperson can be really helpful (salesmen and saleswomen included). They can look at you and tell you which size to get in about 5″, and can tell you which garment tried on fits or doesn't almost as quickly. Which is why I like to try an old‑fashioned tailor's shop if at all possible.Stephan van Hulst wrote:I have a hard enough time picking out clothes for myself . . .

Mere beginners. We went to a 25th wedding anniversary bash last year and I had to confess it was my anniversary: 40 years exactly since I first met herself. And probably her anniversary too.Liutauras Vilda wrote:. . . 25 years . . .

When a bride gets married she gets a new name and a dress(address).
It shows the dangers of abbreviations. I came back to this thread and found myself wondering, “Why on earth would anybody want a dress from StackOverflow?”Katherine Mejia wrote:. . . . I'd appreciate a dress from SO. . . .
That's all very well, but the whole idea of going shopping is to find out what you want.the place where women post the things they really want ;)

That would be easy. You just ask the people on StackOverflow how to make a dress, they make the dress for you, then you just have to copy/paste it XD XD XD
