I do better shopping online. I am tallish and there's not much available locally, so much more available online.
Generally you can write to customer service for actual measurements, I have to do that sometimes. Reading reviews can help too, especially when people say their measurements and what size they got.
My kids (as I did when I was their age) do love shopping at the thrift store, trying things on.
It's really weird how the size label on clothes has no real meaning.
Yes it is. I've written this before but once, years ago I went to Target and came home with 4 bottoms, all the same size. One said 4, one said 9, one said 5, one said 7.
