Your clothes are relatively affordable and well-made. They usually fit me well. Unfortunately, your lovely winter coats are still being proportioned in such a way that a small-busted, big-bootied woman such as myself, upon trying on a particularly fetching one in red (my best color) turns to thoughts that resemble the stages of grief :
Denial: “It does too fit me!”
Anger: “Who’s the idiot who designed this piece of crap!”
Bargaining: “Maybe jcrew will give me a discount for not having a coat that properly fits me; then I could use the extra money and take it to the tailor and have the button moved over an inch; or, better yet, tear it up and completely reconstruct it.”
Depression: “I am so fat! Why even bother? Where’s a J.P. Licks when you need one?”
Acceptance: “Mass-produced clothing is not made for a body; it is made for a statistical average of bodies… Hence, I will get a puffer coat.”

OMG! I just bought a JCrew puffer coat, too. Ah, teacher discount. Oh, and their pants? Sometimes I seriously wonder who can wear some of their cuts and how that unfortunate woman manages to sit down (I mean, if you have no butt, on what do you sit?).
