Irving: I used to wear a "36", and now a "34" is baggy! HAH! What do you call that?! Cathy: "Psychotactic". Irving: What? Cathy: A tactic used to psych shoppers into thinking they're thinner than they are. They put smaller sizes on bigger clothes to make you feel better about buying them. Irving: You mean when the tag says you're a size smaller, you could have GAINED weight?! Cathy: No! I mean YOU could have gained weight! When the tag says I'm a size smaller, I'm a size smaller!
I weight the same as I did 10 years ago. And if I measure my waist it is the same as it was. 10 years ago, I always bought size 32" jeans. They fit perfectly.
Same manufacturer, if I buy jeans today, I get size 30. If I try on size 32, they are too big in the waist. I know I am not a 30 waist…in real measurement anyways.
