trans | Update on the old clothing bit, for those whored it first time. (Reply)

I was reading the sizeing information on some of the websites and it seems that most fashion clothes are incredibly dependant on hips.

For a wist size of 38", the hip size is about 42".

This becomes a problem if, like me, you're basically triangular with the point at my feet.

But then I also remembered that I havent had a 38" waist in about a year nad a half.

I measured myself today and found that I have a waist size of 47" and a hip size of about 45".

I think I'm going to have to lose some more weight before I continue down this avenue, and I'm also definately going to have to try on anything I buy. Even if no one else sees or knows there's a certain amount of personal embarassment in having to send back increasingly larger clothes t one week delivery intervals, trying to find one that fits.

Thanks for everyone's advice though, you were really helpful.
