A 1930s eugenics experiment is the reason women's clothing sizes are so damn frustrating
A 1930s eugenics experiment is the reason women's clothing sizes are incredibly frustrating, according to author Heather Radke, who wrote a book exploring the feelings women have with one particular body part — their butts.
"I had always felt like there was something wrong with my body because I often couldn't find clothes that fit me well, but when I learned about the history of sizing and the way sizing works today, I realized that clothes actually aren't designed to fit. They can't be," she said."There are just too many variables in the human body for clothes to fit most people well.
— a US Department of Agriculture department that studied the best ways to clean, sew, and purchase food and clothing — wanted to tackle this problem facing half of the population.
