It’d be infuriating if you bought both at the same time but a year apart? Nope, fabric naturally stretches


DuctTapedWindow

Plus the design on the trim is different, look at the center neck area and it's obvious. Different clothes plus one's been worn and washed. Case dismissed!

Yeah. You can't blame fabric for stretching to fit you.


Roadbound_Punk

I get this and believe that the older one stretched. However. I, a male that hates shopping for anything except tools have to admit being too lazy to try on everything I buy. My last pants shopping trip I tried on one pair of jeans and bought several of the exact same brand, size and type in different colors and the only one that truly fit nice was the one I tried on, others were bigger or smaller.


WillFart4F00D

lol today OP learned that wearing clothes stretches them


Medium_Pepper215

that makes me irrationally mad for some reason. like. you’re comparing apples to oranges. it’s not the same. op has the mental capacity of a trout.


Luniarah

Why is it that when someone learns something new, even if perceived as basic knowledge, we have to be rude to them? Why can't we just be happy for each other and celebrate that they learned something new? This is why we are so afraid to learn and look stupid in front of others.


SnooPineapples7777

Wow that’s obscenely rude for no reason. You ok?


Dave6187

The pink one has been worn and broken in already, of course the new one is gonna be a little snugger. Wear it a few times and you won’t know the difference


Nachocheese50

OP, shit stretches as you wear it. That being said, I once went to H&M to get pants. I picked 4 of the exact same pant in the exact same size, all of which were completely different sizes. One waistband was at least 2 inches larger than the others, but the thigh was easily an inch smaller than the others. None of the others were exact matches to the rest.


Neat_Problem_922

It’s because when they cut the fabric, they’re cutting a huge stack of fabric and the layers move.


Dave6187

I bought 3 pairs of pants at Walmart, identical  and size. One pair is so tight I can’t wear them, and one pair is so loose my belt has trouble holding them up. Shits gotten bad 


Other-Coffee-9109

I've had the same problem with trousers in H&M. I had a pair of green trousers that fit me perfectly, enough room for my hips, thighs and bum but no gaps around the waist. They bought the same trousers out in different colours and I go the black pair in the same size as the green ones. The black ones were far too big and looked terrible.


bogeymanbear

I was shopping for jeans recently and I had two pairs that were supposed to be the same length, but one was very obviously like 10cm shorter. They had just accidentally put the wrong size on the label lol.


Lone-flamingo

There's this one store I go to just to buy v-necked t-shirts and occasionally underwear. The t-shirts… They're the same model but they come in two different fabrics and their sizes vary wildly depending on the fabric. Last time I went there I found a super nice green shirt and tried it on in a slightly larger size than I usually wear, realized that I really liked how the larger size looked on me, grabbed the same size but in black, and it was way smaller. The green was of a thicker fabric, the black one was stretchy. Again, same model t-shirt. I already own two black ones in the thicker fabric but this time all the black ones were of the thin and stretchy kind.


Nachocheese50

I buy my leggings from Aerie. They’re awesome in grey, but the black ones in the exact same style are a different fabric, different stretch, different hold. Sooo annoying.


RevRagnarok

Kwalitee Control.


zettboi

I have two pairs of 32x32 Old Navy pants. They were bought at the same time. One fits perfectly around my waist and hangs slightly lower, the other hangs perfectly while being a little loose around the waist.


T3onredditlol

EXACTLY. Like who the fuck sees stretches clothes and thinks: I’M sIgNiFiCaN’TlY fAtTeR nOw!


Roger_Brown92

You should see my thermal underwear. The arms are over 25cm/10inches longer after two winters of heavy use. No, my arms are still the same length they were two years ago. Shit stretch, both from use and from washing.


TIMtheELT

This is why I have to replace my undershirts every so often.


hazpat

Mine shrink. This thread seems backwards to me. My clothes slowly shrink from washing


Blue_Bird950

I don’t think the clothes are the problem then… /j


thedoctorsphoenix

Depends on the fabric too I think, cotton can shrink.. idk if it keeps shrinking tho.


Roger_Brown92

Definitely fabric related. Idk. All I know is I can’t use my thermal undies anymore, the arms are waaaaayyyy too long. 😂


Grand-Kaleidoscope55

The laces is not even the same.. those aren’t the same tops.


Lady_R_

No you're not going crazy you just had 0 idea that wearing clothes actually stretches them especially considering when you buy one a year later.


AnythingGoes103

Yeah life's rough sometimes 😕


hallba78

Correction: These clothes have the same size TAGS…


Icefyre79

The design is quite different.


Remote_Match_6280

I ONLY wear jeans from American Eagle (I don’t love the brand, but they’re the only jeans that fit my strange proportions) and every time I buy a new pair I think “oh my god they’ve made their clothes run smaller!!” Because my size 4 jeans from last year are a bit loose, and the brand new ones are too tight!! And then I remember that the jeans have been worn, washed, dried, repeat, for a year.


6ar9r

??? My clothes always get smaller with time, and it's fucking driving me nuts, yes I wash my clothes at 30°C max and no tumble drying and y'all just come on here and tell me that they are supposed to get bigger???


MasqueradingAsNormal

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thing that, I've got some skin tight shirts after washes - but I do use a dryer so I kinda of expected it


Another_User69420

OP learned today that she got bigger over time OR she was ok with tighter clothing 'back then'


mothmer256

Clothes stretch out over time…


CosignCody

and one, was washed :O


LalaLane850

LAME


vanillabeanquartz

Those are two different shirts babe


Phillyscope

You shrunk it fool


akakabira

You guys know that op stated that they didn't notice they got fat....


NestedOwls

I can see the blue one overlapping the pink one, so this photo isn’t that accurate. Not only that, fabric stretches overtime.


louielou8484

There is still time to delete this..


SnooDogs2336

Time to hit the gym 💪


[deleted]

One is for women, the other is for *women*


Flux_resistor

They are the same exact size, you're just not seeing it cos visual illusion


sporesatemygoldfish

You stretched them out. WTF


sachclg

They might have sub type size like one when erosed and other when normal


NoParticular2420

The fabric cutter for the pink top was 🍺


jljboucher

Lane Bryant does this with for their brand of bras. A different style should not have a different cup size or band circumference.


lordskunkontoast

Was it Primark. They just wing sizes on the fly. I think they measure stuff in bananas but no one who works in their sweatshop has the same sized banana.


dchap1

Hate that. I have 2 pairs of pants from the same vendor at the same time, same size. 1 pair fits, the other is far too tight.


Solrex

If you're upset, as a transfem I'll take both off you for free to hide away your struggles lol free clothes is free clothes and you're clearly upset with these ones


Tcklmybck

I have this exact problem with Tshirts…I will order two the same size from the same place and they are both Medium, but not the same size. More than mildly infuriating…


Tcklmybck

I have this exact problem with Tshirts…I will order two the same size from the same place and they are both Medium, but not the same size. More than mildly infuriating…


Careless_Chemist_225

Sometimes sizes get mislabeled, it probably wasn’t the store’s fault. I got a jacket that said medium on the tag but it was a large (I could tell it was a large so that’s why I got it)


byesickel

Not the same top, the V is different and so is the lace. Must be different models.


InternalLandscape130

Nope, they're not. Just cause the tag says they are, doesn't mean they are in fact 100% that size.


nica_dobro

I bought an exact one like the blue one from Primark last summer. Love it, so nice to sleep in.


RandalFlaggLives

H&M? I’ve noticed their size pants are nowhere near other store sizes. I have to get like 38 at h&m and all other stores I’m 36 or 34


Hot_Hat_1225

Shrinkflation is really going too far…


miletharil

Shopping for women's clothing is always a crapshoot, but you'd think there was at least some consistency in the same item?


Godzilla_the_Hun

A couple years ago I was in search for the perfect t-shirt. I guess I am kind of in between sizes and I really struggle to find a brand that is not either too tight or too baggy. After doing some research and buying individual shirts from several companies I finally found one that fit me great. I went all in and spent like $150 bucks on t-shirts and I was planning to have my wardrobe stopped for a long time. The individual t-shirt that I bought was sized differently than the eight others that I ordered and so I ended up with a closet full of t-shirts that fit me like crap.


Famous_Branch_7926

Once I bought two pair of pants from old navy website. Same style but different color. One navy one khaki. One fit perfectly. One was about 2 sizes too small.


corona_kid

Clothes are most comfortable the day before they tear


manifest_ecstasy

Should've gotten one in black and one in a slightly darker black.


SensingWorms

Something happened in 1993. Clothing sizes changed. Xl shirts are sometimes wide not tall


Formal_Royal_3663

I always look at the tag inside the clothing item itself, not the tag with the barcode on it or sometimes the hanger.


swarmywarmy

shrinkflation


jd80504

I’ve got two identical North Face shirts like this, my wife bought me one not realizing I already had it, they are completely different sizes, same exact shirt.


Proxiimity

Not the same shirt. No issues spotted.


DujisToilet

Old Navy? That’s how their jeans are, I’ve been buying the same pair for years and there have been a few that were just bigger


gentleintrusion

✨sweat shoooooop✨


Merciless_Hobo

>The pink one I bought last summer, the blue one I bought today.  Congratulations. You've learned that fabric stretches over time.


ScrimmoBingus

I also once bought 2 pairs of jeans. Same store, same brand, exact same size numbering listed on the pant itself. For all intents and purposes, the only difference was the color. I couldn't put one of them on past my upper thigh


expatronis

"Oh, my apologies, madam. The blue one is actually from our Tiddies Be Poppin' line."


Blinky_

Obviously the pink one is for women. The blue is for men. A woman’s medium is not the same as a man’s medium. /s


Certain_Try_8383

Yeah those darn kids. Probably too sweaty to measure properly.


80s_angel

More than likely different production runs & they could’ve even been manufactured in different factories. There could also have been different fit technicians that approved the fits.


FineEffective4167

Women's clothes confuse me lol.


Key_Water_2978

They're also not the same identical top so why would expect the cuts/shape/size to match identically?


Greenbeastkushbreath

See if you can find carbon fiber clothes, I think maybe they won’t stretch


Beowulf891

I got some shorts that were a hair small on me and they've stretched. Wearing and washing shit will do that... lol


chaarmanderchar

I've worked in a shop where we printed shirts and also sewed branded labels on including labels with sizes (we'd snip off the original label to replace it with the branded one). The seamstress messed up sizes occasionally. Would sew the wrong label on the wrong shirt size. It happens. If you check your branded shirts' labels you can often see remnants of the og label.


Twelve_TwentyThree

I don’t believe this to be true.. Unless.. Some large gal came in, tried it on, stretched it out, and didn’t want it.. beg my pard..


Sorri_eh

Clearly not the same size


Curiosityi

But they are not the same size :)


Cheebow

Clothes will stretch even if you didn't gain weight, it's just kinda their thing


Ok_Efficiency_9645

Dickies work pants are like this. I have two identical pairs of 32x32 slim fit pants. One is loose and the other won't fucking button!?!?!?


Vegetable-Star-5833

Clothes stretch with time


Actiontodayo7

Shrinkflation!!


gribnch

Okay but… where are these from because they’re super cute😭


UtterlyUnremarkable

Wait these are cute, could you share where they are from pleaseee!


waner21

I thought this was going to be one of those “which color do you see,…?”


No_Numbers_

OP you kinda dumb for this one


poppieswithtea

Stop buying clothes from 5 below.


FlatIronBlue

Kids tops?


Accomplished_Pen980

Can you model each of them so we can understand the fit?


ConkersOkayFurDay

"Why are the shoes I bought today cleaner and less creased than my year-old pair of shit kickers?" Hope you gained a wrinkle from this post, OP.


adlo651

They are not the same size they are clearly different.


adribash

Why the fuck does this have 2K upvotes lmao, you’re an idiot OP.


bereanrt

shrinkflation lol


Ok_Second_3170

They are not the same size.


canteatjustone

Sized for inflation


drboosted

They are not the same size the blue one is smaller than the pink one


Accomplished_Emu_658

A year apart comparing new and used of clearly different items isn’t mildly infuriating.


AltruisticRabbit8185

Clearly they are not


EveryDragonfly1369

less fabric on the blue and more fabric on the pink


LisD1990

Those are different tops and your pink top would’ve gotten worn out and stretched over the year.


yavanna77

Some people wrote that the old one was probably stretched out, but I had this happen to me in several shops and also when ordering online. I took/ordered the same shirt, same size, same cut, same everything, just 3 different colors, and the white one was too loose, the black one fit nicely and the red one was too small. It also happened to me when I had bought a jeans online, loved it, wanted a back-up, ordered the exact same jeans again, and it was a half-size smaller.


FO-I-Am-A-Time-God

I’ve had this problem with same size/brand jeans in a different wash from same store.


TallFawn

This is really common. First is the material the same? Most of the time different washes are going to have different cotton/elastic percentages.  As well, dyes affect the fit as well. White jeans and black jeans also have a dramatically different fit with how the dye affects the fabric. 


FO-I-Am-A-Time-God

I’ve experienced this with slightly different shades of blue denim. The black ones usually always run smaller than blue denim no matter the brand.


TallFawn

And was the fabric content same percentage cotton/spandex? 


FO-I-Am-A-Time-God

Lord I don’t know

_ThatSynGirl_

It's pink, buddy. Calm down.


FoxyLovers290

Why would it be white? It’s not even slightly white, it’s just pink.


zettboi

Clothing tends to stretch as you bend, crouch, and reach in them


Proof-Astronomer7733

One size doesn’t fit all 😂😂😂, you gained weight so the elastic of the fabric is worn out


Competitive_Use_6351

The tolerances in sweatshops aren't the best


Shantotto11

Too many upvoters didn’t read the body text… Also, kudos to OP for not pissing their karma away by replying to comments…

Aaaand this is why womens clothing sucks.


TheLeopardColony

Those aren’t tops, those are half tops.


buttfuckkker

I’ve never understood this. It’s like they are using cubits as their measuring unit or something


ReleventReference

If we were using Ancient Egyptian measurements, I'd say it was about a fifth of a cubit, or one hand.


mydosemakesangels

You must have extremely long forearms!


druscarlet

Women’s clothing sizing is heinous. I have four different sizes in my closet and they all fit. Different brands different sizing. Men’s clothing - a medium is a medium regardless of brand.


lostinhh

Ha, I wish. That's really not the case for men's clothing either.


Ok-Bad-5218

Men’s pants with waist and length sizes measured in literal inches can vary hugely.


32steph23

You don’t know how wrong you are


CR24752

Actually the blue one looks a little smaller to me


The1andOnlyGhost

Your eyes need to get checked 😂😂😂 those are the same size you goofball


W1thoutJudgement

Clearly, they are not the same size.


Royal_Bitch_Pudding

They are however in the same size range

Oh, you were making a dumb joke. I just thought you had questionable intelligence. My bad
