Average Dress Size (Female)

[liteweight]

That's a sarong, and me knowing that doesnt make me gay either.

Ah! That probably accounts for your dress sense so!

And "getting dressed" can refer to either sex.

does anyone not notice in river island, that a size 14 is a 12..
before the christmas i bought a top and a pair of shorts... both size 14.. and everyother top and trousers I have are a 10/12...
Didnt want to buy a size 14... but I loved them so when I went home I cut the tags off.....................

I've noticed the opposite with River Island. I used to have to buy a 10 and now I have to buy an 8. Sizing is just all over the place in every shop these days.

Way back in 1989 (I'm a dinosaur) I bought a pair of size 13 jeans. Best fitting jeans I ever had. Why don't the manufacturers make clothes in in-between sizes?

 

[Mr No It All]

Berlin, did you buy them in the States? I know in between sizes used to be available in the States, not sure if they still are. It's a very good point, not everyone is going to be the exact measurements of a 10/12/14 etc !

True but wearing a belt is always an option. Although this usually only applies to jeans

And it only applies to waist sizes, what about hips & butt ?!!

I bought the jeans in Dun Laoghaire - can't quite remember where. They were Lee Cooper jeans, if that's of any interest.
