Ah, that mythical 5%. Which are all apparently between 1.68-1.73 m (oddly enough, my height is in that range, yet STILL have issues with trousers being either too long or too short), have a 0.7 waist/hip ratio, wear size 8-12 and have a B-C bust? In other words, fitting models.

It's ridiculous. Every woman I know has varying degrees of problems finding clothes that fit, all for different reasons, but still, it's telling.

Online shopping is tempting, but even if I believed I could order the right size (which is a problem, given sizing variation within the same brand), I don't buy stuff I can't try on. Just because something fits well doesn't necessarily mean it will be flattering on me.
