Today, I was shopping, and tried on a skirt that was a size smaller than usual, thinking that I would fit in. Not only did it not fit, neither I nor the sales assistant could get it off me, because the zip got stuck. She had to cut me out of it. FML

Today, I tried on a dress for prom. It took a while to zip, but I insisted it'd fit. I asked for help. When the lady finally managed to zip all the way, the dress completely ripped at the seams. Not only did I have to pay $169 for it, but the lady told me, “We have more dresses in the plus-sized section!” FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML

Today, I was excited about my friend going wedding dress shopping, so before I went to go work out, I decided to try on a prom dress from high school to remember what it felt like to get dressed up. It was too tight, I broke the zipper, and spent 45 minutes trapped before I cut myself out. FML
Today, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML

FYL! Did you have to pay for it?

There's no way that's 1 size down, unless you're wearing too tight of clothing to begin with.

It's not like you didn't have any warning that it didn't fit while you were putting it on. The skirt didn't just magically shrink after you zipped it up. If I have trouble getting pants up past my thighs, I immediately stop trying to get into them and go for the next size up, just to avoid a situation like this one.

It's sad that Some people say "fatso" or "fatty". Stop trying to make yourselves feel better by calling other people fat. Clothes that don't fit happens to girls who even weigh 80 pounds. I'm sorry this happened to you. Had to be embarrassing.

You probably should have tried on your actual size first. Then, if there was room, try a smaller size.

You know what be proud of ur size but be aware or make notes of the brands or stores do you know when you need to get bigger or smaller sizes

It's always better if you try on a bigger size first and then have to go to a smaller size. I can't imagine how you could get it on enough to even try to zip it without noticing it wouldn't fit though.
