Years ago I went on a fitness challenge and lost weight and gained muscle tone. Found a pair of jeans in the closet that I hadn’t been able to fit in and tried them on, they actually fit! I nonchalantly looked over at my wife and asked, “Do these jeans make my butt look big?” She tried to hit me! Tru story!
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode in which Jerry brags that he has been wearing the same size 31 jeans since college. George then tells Susan that Jerry has worn size 32 for a while, but has been changing the tag on the back of all his jeans to read 31.
Reminds me of the wife who returns from the doctor and tells her husband that she had a great check up. The doctor even told me I had the boobs of a twenty year old. “Oh yeah, and what did he say about your 40 year old a@#ss”. She replied, “You know, your name didn’t come up at all.”
She bought it in the big and fat store.. That is their small size! Rodney Dangerfield said, if you want to look slime, hang out with really fat people!
I can see a business man with dollar signs in his eyes who buys plus sized clothing, intentionally puts “small” size tags on them and jacks up the price for a tidy profit. They’ll be flying off the shelves!

And Opal will point it out if they don’t notice the label.

“Small” pants have gotten larger while airline seats have gotten narrower.

If she new she was a large, why did she even take a small to the dressing room to begin with

Mislabeled as size small, more likely.

Neiman Marcus would put the tags on mink stoles on upside down, so that when draped over a chair, it would read upright and say Neiman Marcus.

I bought 4 pairs of pants at Walmart, all the same size. I took back 3…the clerk noticed and said one fit?

Sometimes I notice labels on my buddies’ Levi’s, and I’m glad to see their waist sizes are larger than mine. (But I’m catching up!)

Back in the olden days, if you were an extra large boy you wore “Husky” size pants and girls extra large dresses were size “Chubby”.

I’ve gone from a 1X to an extra-large. Now I can’t wait to make it to large.

Many ageing women go from morbidly obese to morbidly skinny. Or, from more to love to little to love. Yup.

Probably miss labeled small but actually large.

You can not depend on the size you normally wear to be the one on the pants you find that fit. Seems like every company has their very own size charts

She could really be a small size, it’s just her butt is swollen for some reason.
