Women, Men and Children Oh My! The different sizes?

The variety of sizes in the fashion world are so different it's hard to begin to explain them all. Women's sizes are some of the ones that seem to vary more than any other. The sizes begin to range from juniors to misses and from petite to plus size.
The sizes for women's clothing can be very difficult to say that a woman is a specific size because every company seems to have their own size charts. 

Men's sizes also seem to be very hard to work with because they have different sizes for their shirts they are the width of the neck and the length of the arm. While with pants they have a similarity with women's because of the hip size and the inseam of the pant.
Children there sizes vary from newborns to toddlers to teens and preteens. This is where the sizes begin to become confusing. The newborns sizes vary from newborn to twelve months. The toddlers are from twelve months to five years. Teens and preteens are ten to six. Very confusing that's why every time someone goes clothing shopping they should always try things on.

To wear it or not to wear it? Is that really the question.

People have been wearing fur since the beginning of time. They would wear the fur to keep them warm and it was the only type of textile they would use. But with the advancement of technology is fur still a necessity. Technology has made faux fur accessible to many people and with faux fur in my opinion I don't see the need for real fur to be sold.

Can anyone really tell the difference?
The wearing of fur seems to be a real picky subject between a lot of people some believe that it's ok to wear fur and others seem it's absolutely unnecessary for people to still wear fur. Fur is a big part of the fashion industry it brings in revenue but many designers have stopped working with fur. Stella McCartney is one of those designers who doesn't work with fur.
The torture and suffering animals have to go through for people to wear a luxurious item is simply inhumane. Although animals can't speak and stand up for themselves people know the difference between right and wrong. When animals are put in cages and they are not properly fed that is wrong. People can just turn their heads and act like nothing is going on but guess what....it is. Animals deserve to be on this earth like everyone else.
If people would stop wearing fur that would tell the merchants and the people who do all of this to animals that they are not being supported and they will most likely stop selling fur.
In no way am I saying what someone should believe in but the facts are there and if people want to see what really goes on they can see the videos.
