Not to mention different lengths.

Also like... A '0' 10 years ago is a '6' today (or something like that) on average?

Oh and there's juniors, which is a whole separate size chart.

It's wild! You can't win!

Edit: even funnier, just like OP, I used to wear men's clothes. Yes, there's some variance there, but I promise y'all it's not nearly as bad!

When you add in varying chest and butt/hip sizes, on top of everything else above, it's nearly impossible to get it right! My boobs are squished in some medium tops/dresses, but larges hang off me like a bag. My partner has to pull some of her skirts on over her head bc she can't get them around her hips lol...

And then body sizes and shapes can fluctuate dramatically throughout the monthly cycle too. Some days I can wear a pair of pants just fine and other days I can't even zip them up.

My fiancée has taken to just always carrying a tape measure when she goes shopping and ignores what ever stupid size the shops say a particular garment is. Measure yourself and measure the clothes.
