I don’t understand why we can’t just measure the size of the garment and put that on them…

Even men’s sizes which are supposed to be that, have succumbed to vanity sizing. My actual waist measurement is usually about 4" bigger than what’s printed on a pair of pants. But since it’s no longer an actual measurement it varies quite a bit.

Oh there’s nothing stopping them. The weird size shell game just makes more money.
