However, not only do sizes vary from store to store, but also brand to brand. Some of the higher-end stores (Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's) DO keep a file on you if you shop there regularly enough. The problem with stores like that is if you have to spend $200 on a pair of pants or $500 on a sweater, it is really not worth it. You could consider actual MEASUREMENTS on the card, maybe on a little retractable tape measure. Or have a "wish list" sort of card; I always want cardigans or nice white button downs, but don't think about basics when I'm shopping. I think this is a lovely idea.
