I'm ebaying my maternity clothing. I received this email about the auction:

Hi I really like your lot. but i would like to fit it too.

How big were you before you became preg. wt. and bust size

Thanks

Is it wrong of me to be a little creeped by this?

My guess is that it is someone foreign, who is not familiar with US sizing conventions. Still, I don't see how my weight and bust size can provide her with enough context to figure out if the clothing will fit.

I'm going to reply with an explanation of US sizing conventions, and leave out personal details.

it doesn't seem that creepy to me, she's probably just trying to figure out how big she might get during the course of her pregnancy. i'd just say "my pre- and post- pregnancy size is an avegerage X" and leave it at that.

That's basically what I ended up doing, a little more verbosely (since I suspect a part of the problem is that she isn't familiar with US sizes).

I guess it just bothers me because I can't imagine knowing my weight and bust size would be useful without more context.
