Clothing sizes are ridiculous!

Especially Ann Taylor.

Yesterday, I was trying on some clothing and size 6 dress was way too baggy. Beautiful color, but looked like a sack on me.
I think that is ridiculous because I am 142lb right now, there is no way I can be a size 4.

The sizes expand faster than the American public. I have designer clothing from before my pregnancy, and they are medium. But if I go shopping now, I'm "small".

Seriously, you can be gaining 10lb every year and never change in size. Kind of contributes to denial.

Completely agree. Ann Taylor is totally warped. So is Nine West. I am 165 lbs and Ann Taylor thinks I am a size 12/large. Ten years ago when I was this exact same weight, I was a 14/16 and an extra large.

Does this make me feel better? Nope, it makes me feel like Ann Taylor considers me a stupid sucker.
