> When clothing manufacturers remove an inch or three to make people feel better about themselves, what else can you do?

Is that actually a thing for clothes sized in inches? Or are you referring to the unitless sizing of women's clothes?

I do get that unitless sizing is annoying to deal with. But it's apparently popular enough to exist as a thing.

For Men's clothes that aren't measured in inches and are instead s/m/l/..., I find those measurement to be shockingly stable across the industry. Although, to be fair, men's clothes are generally meant to fit more loosely than many articles of women's clothes.
