## What Jamie wrote

The Pudding's interactive data essay on women's clothing sizing — vanity sizing, zero standards, brands quietly shifting measurements for decades. Well-crafted data storytelling even if fashion isn't your domain; signals a systemic consumer deception problem. Pull quote: "The only consistent feature is that the industry at large continues to cling onto the same underlying sizing system that's been broken for decades."
