: Having a discussion at the weekend about the phrase "Fits where it touches" in relation to clothing. I thought it meant the item was too big but my friend thought it meant the clothing was too tight. Who was correct?

Not all clothing follows exactly the contours of the body being clothed. "Fits where it touches" means that it's a good fit. ❦ SS ❦
