Free Sizes

(Author : The Hmmm???)



I like to laugh at this word “Free Size”. Each time my sister (who happens to be an “XL” person) and me (a “M” person) goes shopping for clothes, we would ask the sales staff what the size would be on the tag when there were none indicated.

And as usual, they would give an answer that “It’s free size”. Can you imagine this? I’m holding on to a blouse which looks like a large size but with no size indicated on it and looking at my sister and myself, the blouse is too large for me and too small for her. So how can it be a ‘Free size’?!

Another occasion was when we were at another shop that sells T-shirts and again we picked one up, looked at the tag, and the “Free Size” words were indicated. This time my sister took the T- shirt, measured it against her tummy ( psst.. that’s her large part =) ) and guess what? The T-shirt wouldn’t even reach from one side to the other of her tummy.

How is it that the words ‘Free Size” is being used so loosely???? Huh?? My head is cracking up.

So , I’ve decided to give it some thought. If this clothing is “Free Size”, wouldn’t it be a “one size fits all” kinda clothe? Thinking illogically for a second… That means it should fit even a baby till an XXXXXL person, shouldn’t it? It’s suppose to stretch and shrink the way you want it to be …. It’s suppose to be “FREEEEE SIZE”!

Ok! Ok! ….. Back to logical thinking…. truth is there is no such thing as “Free Size”. Everyone has a size, it either “XS”, “S” , “M”, “L”, “XL”, “XXL”, “XXXL” or more. Don’t you agree?

I think the garment factory just doesn’t know what size to label and so they named it “Free Size”.

I wonder who started the “Free Size” word…… Hey Ladies! ……. Can you imagine a “Free Size” bra? Hahahahaha. Adoi!!!! Cannot imagine what type of cup to use???? Disposable ones????.... Hahahahahaha………. More HUH????
