I didn't want to hijack a thread.
I am 147# 5'8.5" and measured for Land's End at size 10, medium top. I am confused because I am used to thinking larger sizes for me. 7 years ago, I wore 14's. I am wearing them now. So I don't know what to think except that I need to go to several stores and start trying clothes on. I ordered 2 swim suits & 3 t-shirts, free shipping, in case they are too small and I can easily return them.
I really don't care what the clothing size says but I do need to know what number fits on my body. Right now, I really don't.
Could sizes have changed this much? Is there a difference between catalogues and department stores?
Thoughts & comments are appreciated.
