You can't shop like a man for women's clothing...
I've used your method, or a variation of it Patti, as do most genetic women I think. Just pay a little attention as they shop. Things get pulled out, HELD UP and either put back or kept for the dressing room. The tag size gets you in the ballpark (sometimes) but you just have to "know" and recognize a garment that will fit you by sight or by Patti's method. It comes with experience. If your nervous and use the grab-and-go male method, your going to get a lot of stuff that wont fit. Online is tricky, read the reviews and look for sizing comments like, "it runs small or large". When In doubt, I buy two sizes right away and return one (or sometimes both). Free shipping is almost a must and a local store to return things will seal the deal. Although trendy, stores that cater to teens rarely have clothes that fit my body so I generally avoid them.
The sizing thing is frustrating of course but I actually enjoy finding something that expresses my taste and style, fits right and is priced well. It takes patience but "Kari" honestly does ENJOY it.
