Really irritated. It aggravates me to no end that a 10 is not a 10 in different brands and a large or medium is not a large or medium from one brand to another. Why cant clothing mfg's make a size 10 be the same in all brands.

    Because they're evil and out to ruin your life? lol

    Just kidding, I agree. I now wear three different sizes of pants! Happily, the largest are getting baggy, so I'll have to go shopping soon!

    I'm right there with you. My husband read an article recently where many of the larger clothing companies are banding together to make sizes uniform across their brands. Personally I like Talbots as they put the measurements on their size chart so you can have a good idea what will fit you in their clothes!

    I wish it were just for womens clothing, but have you tried to shop for a baby or toddler lately? An 18 months varies by designer. I hate it because it's very difficult to buy clothes for my 3 little ones. And let's not get started about shoe sizes

    Congratulations on your success!
    Yes, it's super irritating- why can't brands just coordinate and decide what size is what size? It's extremely confusing.
