So I ordered some stuff from Penney's last Wednesday night on their Thanksgiving sale. Normally, I'd probably go into the store and buy stuff, but these came in tall sizes so I got them online. Problems: they sent a large sweater instead of the medium I ordered, and the medium t-shirt I got is larger than my Eddie Bauer mediums. More problems: when I took them back to the catalog department, I discovered I can't get them in a smaller size in the talls. So now I'm faced with the possibility of either not having a light blue sweater, or of altering a sweater.
My life is so complicated.
The sweater alteration shouldn't be too bad, and I've finally come to grips with the idea that I will probably have to alter stuff to get it to fit right anyway, but MAN. I didn't expect to be swimming in mediums, and I know that this anomaly has nothing to do with weight loss. I guess they've revamped some sizing and that's ok, but it's frustrating. I guess I'll go ahead and order the medium tall and use one of my other sweaters as a template for the alteration. It shouldn't be too bad, right? I'll baste it first and try it on before committing to a shorter stitch. It's worth it to have the extra length...I hope.
