You may call yourself a size 9 or 10, but you’ve probably come across more than once when clothes in those sizes just don’t fit you. Sometimes they are too big; sometimes they are too small. And that shows that the fashion industry is still far from ideal for people.
Emma Storey, a prominent UK fashionista, decided to try on size 12 pants from different brands to see how they would fit her.
A pair of trousers from River Island in size 12 couldn’t even go past her hips.

A size 12 from F&F almost made it, but she couldn’t button them up.
The two-part video shows that you really don’t need to be so obsessed with numbers when shopping for clothes. The fashion industry has no standardization, and it shows how irrelevant numbers can be!
In her first video, River Island’s blue pair of jeans in a size 12 fitted her very well. She could barely button another pair of Zara in the same size. A pair of white pants from New Look, however, fit like a glove.
In the second video, she could barely pull up a pair of red trousers past her hips from River Island. Neither did the white trousers from F&F fit her.

The 27-year-old shares this picture to help fellow women stop fixating on numbers.
“The photo above shows two jeans of different sizes, both from River Island. Curiously, size 12 fits her and size 14 doesn’t, ”Emma said in one of her posts. “This is a MAJOR EXAMPLE of why you shouldn’t look at sizes.”
“YOU are not the problem, and those numbers don’t define you! So what if you have to go up a size, if it fits you perfectly and makes you feel good, no matter what’s on that label? ”
Her followers thank her for the reminder as they totally agree with it. One wrote: “Very true. The size is just a number. The clothes should not be inside out. ”
Another added her own experience: “You are so right about this. Depending on the brands, I have two different sizes and I choose what suits best. As long as it makes you feel good. ”
One shared: “The fact that I’m a 34 in jeans at Levi’s, which is a size 20, but a 14 at H&M and a 16 at Forever 21 and an 18 at Target.”
