Do you cut the labels off?

Rummer

:rotfl: I can see myself in the mirror so cutting off the labels to hide my size seems a bit pointless :rotfl:

As for hiding where I have got clothes from, why would I? I love getting a bargain and as they say it is how you wear it not what you wear

Checking the sizes on the labels is a big help to DH when sorting out dry washing into relevant piles. With some of DD14 and DD11 clothes there's no much different in size.

It sounds really sad but I need the labels to identify what's mine and what's OH's. We've been to the same events and picked up the same souvenir shirts and sweaters (some from before we got together ) and I need to check the label to know which is which!

I find that lots irritate me so cut most out, but only once I've tried them on. It's the way they make them now that it a problem, years ago the edges were soft, but now are hard, and in the case of the bra I just got from M&S it's all a sort of plasticy paper that REALLY irritates. Annoyingly, with a fluctuating size durung the month I really want to know which size the bras are!

My employer issues us with uniform, including trousers. The trousers I ended up with claim to be size 18 :eek: (I'm a 14, the trousers have the same waist as my 14 trousers...) I don't cut labels out but began to understand why others may do!

And another point; I'e spent much of today traipsing around clothes shops trying to get some better- fitting work trousers. I've tried on a selection in Next and H&M- was size 14 in Next but 16 in h&m. I don't *think* I gained a size between the two shops... I imagine that there are women who feel that the label size in someway reflects badly on them and would like to pretend that all their clothes have the smaller size written in them, regardless of the actual size of the clothes.

This conversation reminds me of a time a couple of years ago at work.
I work as a supply nursery assistant usually covering for staff absences. I move around different nurseries/primary schools/playgroups etc. At one place staffed with young girls who were all still wet behind the ears (who probably thought I was a grandma figure), they were taking great delight in looking at the children`s clothes labels and laughing when they found such as `George` or `matalan brands`. It seemed to cause such derision that these children came from "poor" homes! Thank goodness I never needed to leave my children in the `care` of such small minded chavs.

Greenqueen - What an awful thing for those workers to do - sound like brainless chavs.


Building with lego - what gets me - magazines with slimming articles that show various women who have lost weight - still weigh more than me - claim to be in size 12 clothes! I am 10 stone 6 lbs and wear size 14. I tried on trousers in Monsoon yesterday - took sizes 12 & 14 into changing room - had to get the size 14.

Blimey, theres nowt as queer as folk!
i'm bemused that people would do that, i raised 6 boys and needed somewhere (hidden) to write there first initial on or i would never have known whose was whose.
