Size of T-shirts
Will the Garments Industry get its act together on the subject of sizing? As the British Women's Association discover, each year, when they organise a mega-event for hundreds of disadvantaged children at Nandan Water World, the different sizes of the T-shirts given from different houses cause chaos. This year, we discovered that the green Tesco Medium T-shirt was the same size as the red XL T-shirt from House of Pearl!
As in every other developing country, the size of Bangladeshis is getting larger. (Better diet meant that the average height of a boy of 14 in the UK had gone up 4 inches) So sizes here should be beginning to match up. I am embarrassed to have to look for XXL sizes here when I am 16-18 in the UK.
