OVERSIZED AND BADLY FITTED ARE NOT SYNONYMS.
THE POSITION / FIELD NOTE
QUICK ANSWER
THE SHORT POSITION
Designed volume changes several relationships together: shoulder, sleeve, body width, length and balance. Random sizing up usually changes them without hierarchy.
The practical difference between purpose-built oversized clothing and garments that are simply too large.
A uniform is valuable only when it makes standards easier to see. Repetition should sharpen judgment rather than replace it.

A WORKING METHOD
Look for coordinated decisions rather than one large measurement. If the shoulder drops, the sleeve and hem should explain why; if the body widens, the lower silhouette must answer.
THE POSITION
Oversized clothing is a system of scale. Bad fit is scale without responsibility.
