Where do you shop?

Of all the pants (and jeans), I've bought in life...only 1 pr. i never had to alter hem by shortening it, etc. on my sewing machine. I have a 28" pant in-seam.

I expect most pants and long sleeved tops not to fit me in limb length in the store --99% time it's too long. Either I alter the length or for some tops, roll up neatly into a wrist cuff. It is a problem with tailored long-sleeved tops with buttoned French cuffs.

There is a whole group of stores I just don't bother walking into anymore...I might have a decade ago. Eddie Bauer is one of them.

Many stores do provide size 0 or 2. But often it's the only one left..so if I really want it, I buy it instead of waiting for discount sales. Hence, it gets expensive...
