I can understand uniquely shaped clothes (halter tops, etc) but why not pants, skirts, suits, etc?

Because they don’t do both waist and hips and rise and butt coverage.

It’s messed up because even if we had sizes like that the angles and curves don’t have a good way to be explained.

My bigger butt and small waist is a weird ratio (well not if you watch tictoc and filters but mines mine and doesn’t fit normal clothes either a gap at waist or my butt doesn’t fit )

Plus legs esp upper part has different circumfrance and thus if you manage the rise butt coverage and waist the legs might not have enough room for your particular legs.

So imho everyone just fucking gave up and slapped an arbitrary non standard number on it and called it a day.
