Do I buy myself Ethical Trousers from a Woman-Owned Business

when the size chart goes up to something like six inches smaller than my waist measurement but the company owner, when i wrote to ask if they had any plans to expand the range, assured me the largest size would probably fit me and she’d waive the restock fee if it didn’t

(and no, they’re not planning to expand the size range, she’d love to, it’s not possible)

or do i buy myself some pants that come in my size and that I could exchange for two or even three sizes up if they don’t fit, from Some Fast Fashion Large Company that makes multiple pairs of pants in my size and beyond and also is having a sale

fuck the sustainable fashion industry they are all like this

(for the record, the average American woman’s waist size is 37.5″ and mine is about 44″ most days so I am not exactly a huge statistical outlier clamoring for unreasonable accomodations here but even if I was, for real, fuck this.)

(also for the record every one of these ethical fashion companies offers a 000 size. i have not researched what proportion of adult american women have a twenty-four inch waist but this does seem surprising to me.)
