011 - Fashion Industry Essentials - Fashion Sizes

"As anyone who has tried on clothing in a store knows, size is a relative thing."  As a Fashion Industry Essentials student at Parson's New School via Yellowbrick, we were asked to head to a large retailer that carries several brands.  We were then asked to try on many garments - making note of the sizes that fit us the best.  After this, we were asked to choose an item that fit us the best and try on every identical item in that size, making a note of the difference between the garments.  It is important to note that clothing is made with a 1/2" tolerance.
