Finding clothes that fit leave you fit to be tied?

by Polly

fitlogic.jpgNinety-nine percent of the time I have to try clothes on. Tops I can usually guess a size, but skirts and pants are almost definitely going to fit different. The number is apparently meaningless – the same size in two department stores will have totally different fits. I have dreamed of a world wherein I could walk into a store on my lunch hour, grab a new pair of pants and KNOW they would fit.

With a new, universal sizing system, that dream could come true. Called Fitlogic, this system starts with three basic body types – women whose weight is around their middle, women whose weight is in their mid hips, and women (like me) whose weight is below the hips, in their upper thighs. So, using their example, Jennifer Lopez wears a size 4, so her “Fitlogic” size would be a 4.3, because her weight is carried on her hips and thighs.

According to the company’s website, Fitlogic™ is already available in career pants for women over thirty, but will soon be available in pants, tops, jackets and dresses for women of all ages. They partnered with some well-respected companies to develop and test the fit: including Nautica, Garfield Marks, Nordstrom, Jones New York Collection, Macy’s, Jones Elements, and QVC.

If you join their “movement” you are basically casting your vote for fit standardization, a tool Fitlogic could use to encourage more clothing manufacturers to use this system. Also, they are soliciting real women aged 30 to 55 to become “fit models.” You provide some basic information, and they either call you directly or let you know when there is a “mass fitting session” in your area. If you are chosen, they will pay you for your contribution.

I think this is a great concept for women like me who are sick and tired of the endless search for clothes that fit. Take a look.
