Does any-one knows the differences in sizes between every continent?
So far I know that in Europe, a size 12 in the UK is a size 40 in Spain.....
What about in the US, Australia........
Any-one?

    Australian sizes start at 6 rather than 0 or 2, so I try not to think about the numbers when I buy clothes! It's very sad to go from a six at home in Canada to an instant 10 or 12 out here! :)

    wow that's interesting! I know w/ the shoes I have some w/ different sizes depending on where they are from (I have a slight shoe addiction....shoe's never make me feel fat LOL)

    anyway, I do have a problem w/ sizes of my cloths though even just US sizes....depending on the designer, style etc....I have like three sizes that I wear right now depending on the those factors....I try not to think focus on it but I love when I'm wearing my size 8's....even though I know I'm more a 12 well now a 10 LOL...but it can work the opposite too...like when I have the 12's on and they are tight....between the scale and the sizes...ugh! I like the tape measure because that doesn't confuse me!!! :tongue:

    hugs!
