I read that article when it initially came out, and alot of the comments were good for a laugh but just as many seriously pissed me off. Every time vanity sizing comes up on a female oriented website, the hams come out in full force to complain about how "tiny" H&M runs and complain about the fact that they wear a 10 everywhere else but can't fit into H&M clothes at all. Meanwhile I've been sized out of 90% of stores and H&M size 2/xxs just fits. It makes me fucking rage that I've basically been banished to the kids section or online shopping unless I want to wear baggy sweaters just so that 200 pounders don't have to be faced with the reality of their sheer mass. I recently started my first "adult" job and I literally cannot buy business casual clothing in stores, except at H&M. If they give in to vanity sizing I'm totally fucked or maybe I'll just have to go naked to really trigger butterbeasts.

Exactly, all my pant and dress suits need to be tailored, and these are designer -- Calvin Klein, DKNY, etc. I've learned to deal with the fact that I have to budget in tailoring along with the price of the suit if I don't want to look like fucking Charlie Chaplin's little sister. Pant legs are at least 3-4 inches too long AND too wide, and ohmyfuck the enseam and waist size -- like for a preggo woman all the time. And I have "birthing hips" hip bone width but this shit is ridiculous....
