3 Mistakes I See Every Day (Free Guide)

🏷️ "I'm a 2X here, an 18W next door, and a 3X at the mall."
Honey, the number on a tag is the brand's guess. Not yours.

I opened my shop in 1974 and I've fitted thousands of women since. Most of them walked in with the same three habits, and none of those habits were their fault. Store patterns start from one sample body and get scaled up size by size, and almost nobody checks the result on a woman who wears a 26. 💛

🎁 This free 7-page guide is for women wearing US sizes 14–32 (1X–5X). Three mistakes, three fixes, one evening. No pep talks. A tape measure, a mirror and your own closet.

✨ The 3 mistakes (and the fix for each)

• 📏 Mistake #1 · Shopping by the tag. Take your 3 numbers (bust, waist, hips), circle the largest one, and learn the one rule for tops, pants and dresses.
• 👚 Mistake #2 · The baggy cover-up. Why a top two sizes too big makes you look wider, the shoulder-seam check that settles it, and the front tuck that shows your waist.
• 🧵 Mistake #3 · The wrong fabric. Two 2-second tests you do with your hands right at the rack: the pinch and the light. Try them on three tops in your closet tonight.

➕ One little extra: what to buy (and skip) so your thighs stop rubbing by noon in summer dresses.

📖 How it works

One mistake per page, one fix per mistake. Tick a box when a fix is done ✅, not when you've read about it. Your mini tracker moves from 0% to 100%: three fixes, three things changed this week.

💛 This guide is for you if

• You've stopped trusting size tags, and you're right not to
• You size up "to be safe" and everything hangs like a tent
• You own clothes you never wear and can't say why
