Fitting clothes
Here's another thing I'd like to complain. One of the reasons we went for shopping on Saturday is that I wanted to buy some more "work suitable" clothes as most of my current wardrobe is probably a bit too sexy and summery. However, it seems that my body type is different to Vancouverites' average body - I've never thought of myself as particulary large breasted, but it seems that here I am indeed that. I don't know if it's the Asian population that makes the difference here - but I'm having difficulties finding shirts that fit properly in both waist and chest. I found this one really nice brown frilly shirt with pink flowers (and it looks much better than it sounds, believe me) - small was perfect size on my waist but buttons didn't close properly upstairs. So I went for a medium which looked fine in the shop, if a bit loose on the waist.
Today I found out that medium is too small for me too - the buttons seem fine when I was standing up, but sitting down moves the fabric so that the middle button (and I mean middle of my chest) will easily come undone. And that stragic button indeed unbuttoned itself several times during the day - quite fast I learned to hold on to it when I was standing up.
So need to work on the wardrobe too in the future. Damn.
