Hello Greta:
Thanks for the laugh... I learned something about the human body recently while in Costco. I learned that when assessing the waistband of slacks for fit, there are a couple of tricks...
Flip the pants over your shoulders like a cape. Draw the waistband aound your neck and if it comes together nicely, so will the fit around your waist (bet ya try it :-)
The next trick is slipping your forearm through the waistband. It should fit from elbow to knuckles. I'm sure you're asking which knuckles - well that depends on how tight you like your slacks around the waist.
go figure... ?!
Have a great day
Bonnie
Great idea, Bonnie....but hard to believe....my waist and my neck being the same size...??? I'm not sure whether to frown or giggle at this point....!
The trick to the waistband around the neck thing is that the button on the pants has to be closed so your neck is not the same size as your waist, but I have heard this before and it is supposed to work beautifully.
Hi Greta, just wanted to say thanks for sharing your wit and humor. It always seems to come at the right time. I really enjoyed your blog. I have alittle piece of trivia about the human brain... everytime you learn something new your brain gets a new "wrinkle." I read that in Readers Digest years ago. Have a super day! Donna
