so insulted
so my father and step mother sent us our presents. Nothing was wrapped. The sweater they sent me is 3x…not even kidding…I am not little, I normally wear XL. I don’t pretend to be little, but the last time they say me I was very into my half marathon training. I was down 5 pounds, and down quite a few inches. And they sent me a 3X sweater. I have NEVER been a 3X. EVER!
How would you feel?
I’d be pissed. but some people are just clueless

🙁 sorry. my friend got me a size 22/24 sexy nightie from the lane bryant store for my bachlorette party, i have never ever been over a size 18. so i was really offended by that (what i think she did was got something that fit her and she thinks we are the same size-this was a few months after she had her son) as the gift was super cute it was super huge on me 🙁

i go off of how things look when i buy them – not what the label says. sometimes 3x can look xl and xl can look 3x. i bought my mom an xl sweatshirt and she’s 102lbs sopping wet in a parka. but she likes her stuff big. does it look ridiculous on you?

I saw your comment about this, and I completely understand why you feel insulted. Maybe they figured it would be better to buy something too big than too small? OR, maybe they are cheap and bought it on clearance (which tends to have the XS and the 2-3XL and nothing in between). Don’t let it get you down!

Yep, I’d be insulted too. You don’t look anything close to a 3X in any universe. Those people must have been drinking too much eggnog when they went shopping.

Thank you. Your note made me feel a lot better. Love you. Ps: I’d be SO mad at getting a 3X shirt!!!

maybe it was on the wrong size hanger when they bought it?

Yet another reason why I support not exchanging Christmas gifts among adults.

3x? EEEP! I’d be insulted too. Send them a thank you telling them that you like the sweater although it’s HUGE on you and you’ll be exchanging it for 5 sizes smaller. Shrugs. An ex of mine bought me a sweater in a PLUS store without realizing it was a PLUS store and asked them for the biggest sweater they had. ****er. Yea, way too big.

Aww, I’ve been there. I doubt they meant anything by it, people are just clueless. *hugs*
