I hate store dressing rooms. Do you?

Thank you for your response. I hate dressing rooms because any one or several of the following can be true in any store you name: (1)the dressing rooms are too small; (2) there are no hangers for your clothes that you wear in to the store (what do they expect you to do - throw them in a pile while you try on the new stuff?) (3) there is no chair. It would be nice to be able to sit down (4) there is no full length mirror inside the dressing room and even if it were, you would be too close to see how you really look (5) unless you take someone with you, you will have to make several trips between the dressing room and the sales floor in order to get exactly what you want - you always need a smaller or larger size or a different color from the one you brought into the dressing room. (6) the doors don't always come all the way down to the floor How's that for starters. (7)

You have a lot of points that I agree. In my country we dont have very big stores. Plus they have reasonable dressing room facilities like hooks to keep your handbag and clothes and there is big mirrors you can see your entire reflection. That may be the reason I did not understand you.

You save a lot of time that way. When I am forced to return something, I wish I'd had the patience to stick it out and try it on in the store. Luckily, I don't have to do that too often.

Thank you. That is another point. If you are more than a size 12, you barely have room to turn around. God forbid if you have a small child with you that day. Forgedaboudit.

Ah, a kindred spirit.

LOL. Your dressing rooms have benches! You have a place to sit down! Fancy! I have to upgrade my stores! :) Some of mine have one chair. They are still soooo tiny that when I stand up I take up the whole space. Some people are real slobs and you wonder what on earth did they do in there. There is trash. There are marks that you don't know whether they will come off or not. The carpet is filthy. It can be pretty bad. Those, I usually just get out of as quickly as I can.

Brave soul! You dare to go shopping with your husband!! My hat;s off to you!!

Thank you for your response. Ahhh, a kindred spirit!

That would be a big put off. However, it does seem to say the store must have great bargains for that many women to wait that long to try on clothes. I would be out of there so fast.... The only way I would possible wait around is if it was absolutely too good a bargain to pass up and they had a "no return" policy on sale items.

i'm usually in a rush, so i'll try it on at home, if it doesn't fit, i'll take it back

You guys ARE lucky. And I'm not so sure luck has anything to do with it. I think it was a plan by a man and has been continually carried out by men :) We women just bought the whole package. Our vanity gets in the way when you tell us we look good, so we continue to buy all of this stuff :) However, with the international market and designer brands, men have to be careful with sizes too. They can be a little tricky.

Thank you for your response. Those people are rude and inconsiderate if they do not share a couple of rooms and let others in. There are other instances where these groups are rude and inconsiderate also - like at restaurants, cosmetic counters, when walking in triplicate down walkways wide enough for two or three and refusing to separate when someone approaches. You are right. It really is annoying.

This calls for a good eye. My hat's off to you.

Bringing them back is a pain, mainly because I buy a lot of stuff on sale and the things I buy are usually gone so I have to pick out something else or get a refund if I bring it back. I just have to hit the big one so I can go to the store after hours and do my shopping. Or better still, have my personal shopper bring things to the house for me.
