Slinky Brand- Any Help?

UGLY TSV FROM SLINKY!

THE TOP LOOKS LIKE A BEDSPREAD MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER HAD ON HER BED BACK IN THE DAY. THE TOP IS TOO SHORT IN THE FRONT. I REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD BUY THIS. IT SHOWS ALL IMPERFECTIONS. DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WANTS TO WEAR SLINKY. IT IS A HORRIBLE FABRICATION AND IT LOOKS CHEAP. PLEASE, LADIES!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!

Many items in these lines are designed to fit lose, allowing 4″ between garment and body or even more. So that will be a discrepancy source, too.

I have several Slinky items. According to the HSN size chart, I’m a large and that’s what I buy in Slinky. 9 out of 10 times the fit is perfect. However, I just returned an item because it was too big but going down a size may have been too small so I returned for a refund.

I have learned to always look at the “garment measurements” and not HSN size chart. I have found it’s a hit or miss with these designers. They say once you find your size in a collection to order that size for all clothes in that collection. I’ve found that not to be true. In the fullest part of my bust I’m 43″. I have found that I need to buy the size that is around 39″ for the dress or top to fit me. If I buy the size for my measurement it is huge on me. I’ve had to return many items because they were too big. Hope that helps you some.

I have no idea anymore what exactly “true to size” means. Sizes for different brands are so different….

Sorry I can’t answer your first question.

I can tell you comparisons though. Slinky brands is about the same size as much of antthony and CSC. It is at least 1 or 2 sizes bigger than some other brands on here – names escape me at the moment.

If you are a big fat woman like me who likes her clothes slightly loose so as to avoid highlighting the rolls of fat, buy your size.

If you are a skinny woman who wants her clothes very tight and form fitting, size down at least one size in tops (maybe 2) and 2 sizes in pants.
