Starting TellMySize
I still remember that day - staring at yet another package of ill-fitting jeans, calculating the $40 in shipping fees I’d wasted, knowing I’d either pay another $20 to return them or add them to my growing pile of “maybe someday” clothes. Living abroad means my favorite brands are an ocean away, with no stores to try before buying.
That was my breaking point.
Every online purchase had become a gamble. Those size charts? Useless approximations that never accounted for my broader shoulders and longer torso. A “medium” meant something different for every brand—sometimes even between different models from the same brand.
The questions haunted every purchase:
- “Should I size up for this brand?”
- “Is this ‘Asian fit’ or ‘US fit’?”
- “Why does this ‘regular fit’ feel like it was made for a completely different species?”
My closet told the story: clothes that looked nothing like they did online, items that fit in some places but not others, and a few rare perfect fits that I couldn’t replicate because I couldn’t remember which size worked for which brand.
The explosion of online-only boutique brands made things worse. I’d find exactly what I wanted stylistically, only to abandon my cart knowing the sizing was a complete mystery.
After one particularly frustrating experience—three consecutive returns and nearly $100 down the drain—I knew there had to be a better way.
What if people with my exact measurements could tell me which clothes fit them perfectly?
That’s why I’m starting tellMySize. No more generic size charts or misleading product photos. Instead, real people with your measurements sharing what works for them.
When you find someone with your height and shoulder width reporting that a medium in that Hoodie fits perfectly, you can order with confidence. When that perfect pair of jeans arrives, you can pay it forward by sharing your experience.
I will add photo sharing too, because seeing clothes on real bodies like yours beats professional models every time.
I’m building tellMySize because I’m tired of wasting money, time, and hope on clothes that never fit right. Join me in creating a community where finding your perfect fit isn’t just possible—it’s guaranteed.
