    I've done it before, I don't systematically do it though. I hate that I'm a size 11, 13, 15 because a lot of cute clothes don't run that big and the ones that do are not as nice. I used to have a lot of trouble finding bottoms and I would basically take anything that would fit me..ok...now I just try to find things I look awesome in(relatively).
    Doesn't it suck when you're trying on clothes and you realize you can't go up a size because they don't make it more than a 13..I hate that different stores have different sizes..why don't they get with the same program..its just annoying picking up a size..e.g 13 and have it fit..then go somewhere else and the 13 being a million times smaller.
    eeeeg vent

They did that for the reasoning that women don't like seeing their pant size and it makes them feel better about themselves if they see a smaller number. From what I heard it did quite well and boosted profits dramatically. I dont remember now what brands were doing this. But I totally understand why you would want to take the tag out.

    Maurices carries sizes up to 24. But they are not labeled that way they have either numbers or letters I can't remember and there is a guide on the racks that tell you which letter/number coincides with what actual size 14, 16 etc. I think it just complicates things, but they've given you that option because, obviously, people worry about it and they must like it that way.
