determining my size...damn lopsided body

mom23nuts

ok so do I use pants size or dress size or bathing suit size or what when people ask me "So what size are you now?'

Pants are 12 almost ready for 10s
bathing suit is 14 WHAT THE HELL???
shirt size is large

wearing an actual dress maybe my size is 12/14

yesterday I bought a size 8 pr of shorts

I know all clothing manufacturers cut the clothing differently so what do you all use when people ask....not when shopping?

i know no matter what because of clothing cuts and my crazy lopsided body I have to try everything on but is your size considered pants size or dress size.

And why have my underwear not changed size? Now those bloomers really need to go down in size to really make me feel good.

that is the one article of clothing that seems the last to catch up with the other shrinking sizes

We all have the same problem. I would just tell them your dress size and if someone is going to buy you a gift. Ask for the receipt. LOL

Sizes can be so frustrating! I have 4 size 10 shorts. 2 are to big and 2 just now fit. Go figure?! Bathing suits are esp. hellish. But, your size is going down and that's great!

I have heard/read that clothing manufacturers are making clothing larger and putting small sizes on them. So who knows what a true size 12, 14, etc is?

We are all a little lopsided here and there. Hang in there! You are doing great! :happy:

yeah I knew those size 8 shorts were too good to be true since I brought a different brand in on size 12 to the changing room and the 12 didn't fit and the 8 did.

what a way to mess with the female mind and sell a product!

luckily they were $5 at a consignments shop! So I don't feel too guilty playing into all of that craziness!
