To be fed up of things that don't fit

Is it just me (quite probably) or is it really hard to get things that fit properly? I am a weird shape for sure with a different top and bottom size but everything looks appalling on me and is either swampingly huge or skin tight. Tops and dresses are a particular problem. I ordered two tops online that are practically identical in style and the same size and brand. One is like a yurt and the other flattens my considerable embonpoint so I look like a tree trunk. What is going on?

Yep! I’m short and fairly petite and NO tops or dresses with straps that you can’t adjust fit me it’s so frustrating! The straps just constantly fall down and even ones you can adjust usually don’t go tight enough. Causes a massive issue buying bras too.

I am very short and apple shaped it's a nightmare.

I live in certain style tunics/dresses that I usually have to shorten. It gets tedious.

Buy clothes without Lycra! Then they should be the size they say they are. Stretch clothing is terrible.

Nope have these problems too. I am diff sizes top and bottom(pear shaped), im also short aswell. I much prefer to see clothes in shops before I buy them and often try them on. Buying them online has been a pain.
