If you were a lady, Flyboy, you'd know that sizes rarely match across different manufacturers!

I wake up every day thankful for not knowing that.

Yes it is. If the shop is selling something that they say is a size 30, and have an identical item, they should match. Otherwise what is the point of having sizes on labels?

Who said they didnt match? It would also depend on manufacturers.

Its not uncommon for some things in shops to be small made and others to be larger made. From a female perspective, being bigger made is always good, means you can buy a size smaller and feel thinner :rotfl:

The OP.

If this was a typical fashion item, there may be some weight in that argument (no pun intended ), but this is a school dress for a six year old. I would hazard a guess they are both from the same manufacturer, so I can't see why there would be an argument. If they were within any set parameters, the size 30 dress should not be smaller than the size 28.

They should match before or after the item has been washed?



Was there really any need for that?
Yes, If you had bothered to read what I earlier wrote then maybe their daughter isnt a size 30 as they thought.

Dont try and be cocky with your selective quoting its a perfectly reasonable comment to make as not all six year olds grow up the same size and weight at the same time so what may be right for one may be completly different for another. You know this yet you try and be a smart ar5e

Ive just checked again and the OP never said anything about trying it against another one in the shop so its Flyboy making up things to suit his own arguement. I dare say its not the first time he has done this either.

Here:

One of her nervous assistants had measured the dress and it was absolutley the wrong size

And here:

i measured it against the size she had been wearing and it was smaller than the supposed smaller size

There really is no need for gratuitous insults, it diminishes credibility and shows how puerile some people can be.

Where does the OP mention it was measured against an exact identical item?

1) She only said the shop assistant measured it, not that she measured another dress from the same manufacturer
2) Where does the OP state that the old dress is from the same shop, by the same manufacturer and the exact same design?

"similar" is not identical. I can size 2 pairs of my jeans, both are similar. Both were bought from the same store, both are labelled different sizes yet the smaller size is actually the bigger actual size.

I can even size 2 items from the same manufacturer and they'll be different.

Which doesnt say what she measured the size against though does it? A chart or another dress of the same batch and style?

But she mentions just after that,that the size she had been wearing was a 28 so it will never match a smaller made size will it?

Calling you a smart ar5e is not a gratuitous insult at all. You have selectivly(sp) quoted parts of the OP which suit your arguement. You have tried to make me out to be an ogre at the mere suggestion that the OP's daughter may not actually be the size that she thinks she should be. Both of which are perfectly valid points when discussing the issue at hand.

You can try and use your big boy words all you like but my comments were valid and you tried to take them out of context to suit your own means but yet by doing so have diminshed your own percieved credibilty by doing so.
