okay ...
I'm sorry if I sound like a bitch,
but I'm getting just a *little* bit irritated.

1: this link has been posted I don't know how many times

2: your height and weight have NOTHING to do with what size you wear. Trust me, I'm a costumer, I fit people on a daily basis. It all depends on bust / hip / waist measurements.

3: is there ANYTHING we can do so that people stop asking the same questions 500 times? Maybe post this link on the community user page or something?

4: here's the link, AGAIN

Japanese vs US dress sizes:

lol while it affects your size, also wont exactly REFLECT your size. i've been sewing for longer than my son's been on this earth...i'm a VERY young minded person for my age, and i LOVE dressing people up!!

*smile* thaks for sharing for those who need to know tho - even i didnt know that!

Sure it does.
My height has affected the sizes I wear.
I can not wear japanese style clothing. On the whole it is made for people much shorter then I am.
I can not wear many of the pants that are made in the us and canada now. Even if it physically fits Around me, length wise it just doesn't. My hips and arms are much too long.
That's all I meant when I commented. Weight wise. Yeah that's all bust and stuff.
And your weight just affects the Style of clothing one can wear withut looking silly. I've seen alot of women in too tight clothing who didn't have the rock hard bodie to handle the style. Yay lets watch blubber jiggle down the street.

what I was saying is that simply by stating your weight and height - you can't determine the size of clothing you wear.

but yea -
I don't like the blubber jiggle -
good for them that they have confindence -
but it just looks tacky to wear clothes that don't fit.

Maybe you need an automated response to a question like that.

[delicious-souls.livejournal.com]

well, alot of tymes, on japanese sites, it will say "arrival height is 90cm"

so it CAN tend to have to do with your height.

that website is helpful,but it is a bit confusing as well.

and im pretty sure you were talking about me when you said you were irritated, sorry..this jsut seems to be the only egl community on gl and im new at this thing, =D

this is the same sort of logic that made me buy size L tshirts for years on end, because i'm 6' & therefore bigger than everyone else.. nevermind that i'm also dead skinny & 2 or 3 of me could've fitted into some of those things. ick.

so. not really.

[madteaparty.livejournal.com]

..there might be an inch of difference in length but that's pretty much it.

[ange-vole.livejournal.com]

no - SEVERAL people have asked
REPEATEDLY.

height by itself can matter
weight MIGHT matter
but just by giving someone your height and weight,
does not make a dress size.
height vs weight have NOTHING to do with what size you actually are.

*shrug*

well if ya dont ask, how are you to know?

maybe it should be added to the "memories" of the community

YES someone needs to put that link on the profile page.

AND the link to some EGL gallery or Bible scan site.

AND I'm really tempted to make an EGL auctions community just to get the "BUY MY STUFF NOW!!!" posts out of here. I mean no offense to anyone by saying that. If you are offended... well... I'll show you something to be offended about. I mean, I like being able to come here and find a person to buy some stuff from, but.. I just wish there was a seperate group for it. Like... the hair extension community and the hair extension auctions community. Sometimes I just want to answer questions about or read about people's hair extensions. Not know that twenty guys and gals are selling them on Ebay.
