I only can fit into pants which are from MNG. Anyone else can suggest other brands that are similar to MNG size and cutting, please tell me. In the meantime, there is where I get all my supply of work pants. I dont know why other brands dont fit me as well as they do. I tried Marks & Spencer - Nope. Zara - Zilch. Naf Naf - Yucks. G2000 and U2 - HORRIBLE. Esprit - Not quite there.
MNG - Jackpot.
So being the MNG fan, I know my size and I know what I can get from there without trying out. SO. But pants is an absolute must to try. Eventhough they are MNG. So. My usual lookout size is this:
MEX 1 = USA size 2
So imagine my surprise when I had to fit on pants with the size MEX 3 (USA size 4). 2 sizes BIGGER!! I thought I grew fat within this one week gorging on wonderful Malaysian food while I was back in KL. Note to self: Go on crash diet.
I usually alter the length of the pants myself. So I took our my old MNG pants to measure. My old MNG pants (pictured above with the size) is still in brand new condition despite being 3 years old and have to put up with my constant abuse. That is why I love MNG pants and wouldnt mind spending on it.
Then out of curiousity, I measured the waist of the pants between the old and the new. Because the last I remembered, I could fit into my old MNG pants very comfortably about a week ago. So I compared sizes, and this is what i found:
The old pants is at the bottom. The grey is the new pants. OMG they are the same size!!!!!
SO get this. This is my conspiracy theory. Fashion pple out there are increasing the sizes of the smaller sizes (i.e. S size => M size) So that people will get conned upon seeing that they cant fit into the 'usual' size that they get, they diet sommore to fit into the 'original' size. Therefore even though they havent gained an inch of fat, they are led to believe that they 'grew' 2 sizes bigger.
Fashion is going to produce more skinny people.
