AMEN! And I'll also second the thought on wedding dresses being cut really small. I went to David's Bridal to try on bridesmaid dresses for my little's wedding, and I had to go up 6 sizes from what I normally wear in order to find a dress that would fit me in the bust. Meanwhile, I am swimming in it in other places...you'll practically be able to make another dress out of the amount of material that will have to be removed to hem it. Oh, the joy of being short and busty.
I have noticed that women's tops have been getting much smaller. I have several sweaters from one brand of clothing...both XL, both same style but some are a few years older. The older sweaters are larger and longer than the newer ones. I can't fit into any of the women's tops at Old Navy, and I have to go a size up at Target. It is annoying.
