Two Whole Cakes by Lesley Kinzel
An excerpt:
"Women in particular are prone to directing their anger at themselves rather than at the pair of jeans that fails to fit both their hips and waist at the same time, as though the jeans' expectations must necessarily prevail over the actual dimensions of the body you've had for your entire life. If the jeans don't fit, it must be your fault. You should change to fit them, because the jeans are in charge here. If you refuse - silly, stubborn person that you are - then you are relegating yourself to fashion struggles in perpetuity."

So true as we always turn the blame on ourselves for a garment failing to fit properly. "I'm so fat." "My hips are too wide." "I look like I'm pregnant with triplets." yadda, yadda, yadda.
