I'm a size what?!!!

[~Kaz~]

are the sizes really out of wack or am I really a size 14?

The sizes are out of wack - definitely! I completely agree with Lulu and have that same experience most of the time when I shopped pre-pg! Anything from a 10 to a 16 here! Currently, now that I'm pg, my sizing has actually stabilised at about a 12 it seems in mat clothing. Totally bizarre! It's frustrating that they only let you take in 3 or 5 things at a time to change rooms when you need that many items just to try on one style!!

Sizes are insane, I'm anything from a size 14 to an 18 these days. Standardized sizing doesn't exist in Australia and I suspect it's the same situation in other countries. I guess just average out what size you usually wear? Some places also have charts where they show what measurements correlate with what size, though I've found them to be pretty inaccurate personally.
