Do you like to go on mall wide sale? Normally during sale time on department stores specially on the clothes section, there are a lot of shoppers trying to buy as much clothes as they can sometimes even fighting over possession of a last item or stock. If you saw a pair of pants or jeans that did not have a tag telling you the size, how would you know if it will fit you? Do you believe that by measuring the waistline of the pants on you neck will mean it will fit you? Is it full-proof? In my case it is. Just Curious, SFC

This is one item that I cannot check without actually trying it on my friend. People say that you can check by putting it around your neck. I can't do this because I have a small waist and uhm... a fuller bottom. Lol. So it's really hard for me to find a pair of pants that would fit me exactly. It's either too loose in the waist but okay with the hips OR okay with the waist but too tight in the hips. talk about a dilemma huh?

i think try in on will be more suitable to know if it really fit with me or not if this is available there if not i think i have to find more wide one cause if it was wide i could handle it but it was tight this really going to make me upset and i will try to turn it to the shop again . have a nice time dear friend and happy posting.

for me it is better to go to the fitting room and fit the short or te pants,we have different size, and also the brand of pants or shorth have also thier own size. sometimes i fit it into my neck too, but i am not comfortable until i fit it.

That technique works for me too. Ive used that plenty of times and it works. I guess the circumference of your neck is half of your waistline. But I guess it is pretty safe just to try it on in the fitting room because there are pants with different cuts and styles. You will never know if they suit you if your wont try them on.
