• 59 percent of respondents would never try on clothes in a large communal dressing room.
• 39 percent buy things that are too small, planning to look smashing in them when they lose weight.
• 62 percent own jeans that don't fit anymore.
• 34 percent own a "skinny outfit to wear only when they're at their ideal size."
• 51 percent have a fat outfit for when they feel pudgy or bloated.
• 15 percent have "accidentally ripped or gotten stuck in a garment that was too small."
• 75.6 percent say they try on only one outfit in the morning before leaving home; 16.7 percent say they typically try on around two; and just under 8 percent try more.
Okay, ladies, we get the not-feeling-confident thing. We've been there. And the skinny jeans/fat jeans thing? We've been there, too. But over three-fourths of you try on only one outfit in the morning? Puh-lease. We can't have miscalculated how much of the world is as hopelessly indecisive as we are by that much.
