Everyone knows what "one size fits all" is supposed to mean, but what does it imply? Do people actually think that one size fits all is an easy, effective way to make cute clothing?
In my experience, "one size fits all" is a myth. I have yet to find a piece of clothing labeled as such that really would "fit all."
My take away from one size fits all, is that it is made for whatever the brand deems the "average" or "desirable body". Usually, one size fits all does not even go over the bodies or large women. It also sags loosely on small bodies.
The implication? If your body doesn't fit, you don't have a good body, as one of the girls says. I think this is just the very tip of the iceberg. One size fits all clothing can make a person feel bad, what about brands that vary drastically in size?
In America, we are so size obsessed that companies tamper and adjust jean sizes with both good and ill intent.
In conclusion, I think that if all companies and corporations had restricted rules on sizing clothes that it would reduce the psychological toll it takes on women to find clothing that fits us. If you're a woman who struggles with finding the right clothes, just know that you are not alone.
