Does anyone else HATE clothing sizes?

[*charmalea*]

i hate sizings too , normally in an 8 in 8 kmart 10 in bigw and target and a size large in cotton on , jayjays and jeans west im a size 9 but in just jeans im a 10 (just) when i wear dresses im an 8 but pants im a 10 and in the supre and valley girl im a 10-12 ... and same with city beach brands im more of a 12 .. BUT if you take my measurements im bust 34 in bust and 29 in waist and a 37in hips ... so ideally an 8 but i can never go in any buy an 8 off the rack , dont get me started on shoes ..... sometimes a size 6 in womens is too big , so i have to shop in the kids scetion for a size 5-6 in kids shoes .... no fun when i want a killer pair of heels

and clothing with DD .... she is 9 mths and wears a 00 , her age suggest she wears a 0 but they are waay to long and baggy on her , i guess its her size , but alot of the cute funky stuff starts in a 0 so she is stuck in cutesy things with bears on them , which is not my style she is a smaller bub and is only 7.4 kgs , so even tho this winter she is a 00 , next winter she will be 2 and i cant really keep that size for next winter ..

with DS he was a chunker and wore sz 1 from around 10mths , and now he is 2.5 he can still wear size 1 and 2 pants and top ... and i reckon he will be in sz 2 when he is 3 .. guess with kids it depends on their body ... but with ladies ... its just frustrating ..

these days i go by measurment , not by size , esp when buying online ..

I'm an 8 - pretty much everywhere. But I'm not 5' tall! I'm 6' tall (30cm difference for you crazy metric people). So it fits my shape perfectly BUT I show 8" of stomach and my trousers are at half-mast! I hate having to search and search and search for "tall" or "extra long" - I'm not that freaky! But oh no, tall people have to be size 16 to get clothes. Size 8? That's not happening.

So it's not just clothes sizing, it's the assumption we're all the same height that gets me.
