Usually it fits perfectly...even if it looks too big or too little...so weird. Mr. Silver has MUCH better tastes in clothes than I do!

I do agree with the size thing..to a certain extent. In terms of the "petite" thing, they're also cut for shorter women (5'4 and under), so it's kind of different.

If it is smaller than a 0, wouldn't it be size -1?

Lady Pi Phi killed the joke of "If it's zero, you don't exist" and it's great to see that you added the hilarious follow-up of "A negative number is less than zero".

This, kddani's post, and AOIISilver's describe my problems! If it fits my boobs, a small family could live in the rest of my outfit. If it's shorts or skirts, I get a petite, because I'm short waisted, but can't get a petite for pants or they'd be miles too short.

I really need to go back to making my own clothes... I'll call myself "Omar, Designer for those of big boobs, short waists, and long legs (and tents)"!

I wish women's clothing was sized like men's - by waist, and inseam for pants; bust & sleeve for tops, then a combination for a dress. No more vanity, but wearing the same size in EVERY store, not an Ann Taylor 6 and a Banana Republic 10!! It makes me crazy!

[/hijack]
That is the BEST idea in the world!! lol. I'm tired of going to different stores and constantly having to try on like 5 sizes to just find one that fits. I guess that is why i wear the jean i have till they are consumed with holes! lol.

I have to wear a Large or XL shirts cause of my bust, but it sucks b/c once you start to wash them, they start to shrink and then its too small to wear.

And DON'T even get me started on pants....me and my 5'3 pear-shaped body! lol

Certain stores use lower #s for bigger clothes because people will think "Oh, I like being a size 2" when they're really a 4 or 6 and they'll continue using that brand.

Usually, if a store's small is too small on me, then their clothes run too small. I'm only 5'3" and I'm slim from years of running and ballet, so when I tried on the only decent looking sweater in Abercrombie one day - size medium - and it was too small, I knew that me and that store were never meant to be.

I think shoe sizes are awful too. Oh gosh, I can't even think about it right now!

If a person can fit into size 00 or 0 for that matter...heck even size 2 I say EAT SOMETHING! I know I'm skinny but I can't even wear that size.

I don't like vanity sizing. I would prefer consistency.

I'm usually a size 6. But I bought a dress advertised as 4 that was stated that would fit a 6 as well. The dress turned out to be size 2. I still fit in it.

Usually my top and bottom sizes are consistent, since I do have an hourglass figure.

And I'm a smaller size than what I was in high school.
