Wow, I agree, Lifeguard! Once you got over the reality check, it would be nice to know that size "whatever" fits you. Like Angihas said, if three different sizes fit me from three different stores, you can bet I'm buying the smallest one!

clothes are definitely sized different now. The last time I was at my current weight I was wearing a 22/24 now can wear 16, 18 and 20. While I like wearing the smaller size, it does make shopping harder you don't know what size to buy where. I hate trying on clothes at stores also.
The anorexic models are bad influences on our younger people also.
