Expertise claims on fashion sites are usually vague, so here is the specific version. My training is in fashion, taken to master's level in Bangladesh. My working experience is on the production side of the garment industry rather than the editorial or retail side — seven years of it, five in Bangladesh and two more since.

What that gives is a working understanding of how clothing is dimensioned. Sizing is not a published standard that brands follow, it is a set of decisions each brand makes independently. A base size is chosen, measurements are set for it, and every other size is graded up or down from there by increments the brand picks. How much is added at the waist versus the hip, how the tolerances are set, whether the published chart matches what comes off the line — those choices are why a twelve from one label and a twelve from another are not the same garment.

That is invisible from a shop floor and it is the foundation of most of the tools on this site. The brand deviation tables, the conversion charts, the explanation of why label size and actual waist measurement diverge on jeans — all of it comes from that side of the industry rather than from reading other people's blogs.

Where the background does not reach, I say so. I am not a stylist, not a trained colourist, and I have not lived in Europe. The tools covering colour analysis and personal style are built on published frameworks that I have read thoroughly and documented honestly, including their weaknesses — which is a different and more limited claim than personal expertise, and the relevant pages make that distinction rather than blurring it.
