Is it just me, or are clothing sizes getting bigger and bigger?

No actually I didn't notice, because I don't shop there...but that's not the point.

I don't think you're getting what I'm trying to say. I know the sizing is different. THAT'S THE PROBLEM!

The sizing SHOULD be uniform. There SHOULDN'T be different sizing in North America. What I am trying to say is that a 14 in the US SHOULD be the same as a 14 in Canada, and so on and so forth.

Then maybe we should have an international standard or list sizes from several different areas, like they do at Zara and Mexx. It'll be a heck of a lot easier that way.

That's what I was trying to say. And if not and international standard at least a North American standard.
