False sense of slenderness

The next time you go and buy a pair of jeans, remember that the size that you picked might not reflect the real you. Yeap, you read it right!! And the size is likely to be bigger than the size you choose!! A survey was done by The West Australian which put 13 designers to the test and found the discrepancy between the label, some up to 5 inches!! Scary isn't it. Now that's for the ladies'. For the men's, the discrepancy is about 2 inches. Some designers argue 'low—waisted jeans always measure bigger than a traditional waist measurement as the cut is designed to sit on the waist.' Well, there you go.. just think of this the next time you buy a new pair of jeans and if it is low-waisted, it's OK!! Hahah..
