    I'm a steady 14 at Portmans for pants skirts and a 12 in tops.

    I am too but I don't find Target generous. I prepare to try on 12-16's there. I think their sizes dodgey so I'm not surprised you had to go up. Sizes can be inconsistent shop to shop but I've found Target inconsistent garment to garment as well.

    Agreed, I was wearing size 12 work pants from there today.

    I'm 170cm, maintaining in the high 70kg range. I'm usually a size 10 top and a 12 bottom, depending on vanity sizes. Target, Crossroads, Katies, quite a few places I always have to go smaller.

    176 cm
    61 kg

    I bought some size S leggings from Mix Apparel recently, and they're fairly loose.

    Whereas a S half-zip sports top from Aldi fits fine.

    I find target impossible, in general. Their clothes are ALL too short for me, and generally the arms and legs are tiny.

    Ironically I live in Target Corporation's home state, a place where there are a *LOT* of tall women.

    I'm 163cm and currently 61kg (slightly above my standard weight 57kg) I generally start with a 10/Small and go up or down a size if needed. Some stores, like Country Road I'm more likely to be an 8 (if they carry 6s, I'm often an 8, if their smallest is an 8, I'll be a 10 - one size up from smallest)
    I buy a lot of vintage clothing and I'm consistently a 12.

    A bit too small for me currently (hence MFP) - but I have size 6 trousers from Country Road. What the What?!? Even when I'm 'trim' I'm not a 6. I find the whole vanity sizing kind of ridiculous.

    I think I'm average height at 169(?) but my mum's taller and she finds length a problem. I can relate to tiny arms and legs. It really depends though doesn't it? Fabric, cut, style.

    Overall I just hate trying clothes on TBH. Through all sizes, drove my mum nuts as an average sized kid. Target makes me work too hard. Part of the motivation in losing was buying off the rack. Boom. Done. Outta here.

    I still wear mostly yoga pants and the like because I can't be arsed trying gear on. Hand me downs are great!

    Re: vanity sizing. They've changed the uniform sizes at DD's school. Medium is now a small, small is extra small and they added a xxs. Still wrapping my head around the reasons for that. It kinda stresses me oddly.

    I've found the same thing.

    These days, I can fit in Size 12 ... but every so often I'll go into a 14 and 14 is usually just a touch large. So I bought a pair of fuzzy pjs the other day in a size 14, figuring they'd be slightly large and comfy. The bottoms are ... the top is just a little tight.
