Trends Reviews and Recaps

Below is a conversation I overheard once while shopping with a friend at Saks Fifth Avenue in Bala Cynwyd, Pa.

Shopper: Do you have this in my size?

Saleswoman: We might. What size are you?

Shopper: Well, usually between an 8 and a 10.

Saleswoman: So, a 9 then?

Shopper: It varies, you know, depending on the designer.

Saleswoman: Well, more like an 8/9 or more like a 9/10?

Shopper: More like a 9/10 probably.

Saleswoman: So you're a size 10?

Shopper: Yes, size 10.

Saleswoman: I'll check.
