Oh, shopping is so fun! But I know being with family isen't always ideal. My sisters are always a pain to wait for, they have to try everything on twice before they decide!
Isen't sizing weird like that? I've always noticed that sewing pattern sizes are way bigger than store bought clothes sizes. I'm a size 12 in Macalls patterns but a size 5 in normal clothes. And when I go to stores like Walmart the XS is too big for me!
I think every single brand out there has their own idea of what a size should be. You really do have to try everything on first, making us spend more time in their stores so we'll hopefully buy more from them. They must do it on purpose.
