I’m of an age where my physique is less than perfect and I prefer to cover various bits of my anatomy by a careful selection of clothing. With a tunic or long t top I can persuade myself that I don’t really have a wobbly bottom and a sticky out belly. I know I’m only fooling myself but hey, I don’t care. So, when it comes to new clothes, I am keen to see what length that particular top is. I find the guides on online shops hard to gauge, so M+S may say “this top is modelled by a 5ft 8 model who is size 8” but that’s no help to me. I find myself thinking well I’m 5ft 3 so will that top reach my hip level or lower. And what happens when I wash it, will the only just long enough top become too short and expose my shortcomings. I have found an on line shop or two that states the exact length of tops/shirts/blouses etc, which is brilliant. I know for certain that my bum may be covered whatever it looks like on the model. So, my question is, why can’t all clothing retailers who sell on line, include the length of the top as well as the chest/waist etc? Is it too much to ask?
