To not know what size a Large is?

These days I am a 16 for jeans and 14 or Large maybe occasionally 16 on top.
Just depends how relaxed or non tight/short the T shirts are.
I wish I was a 14 on low jeans/cargo but they are just too tight or don't fit at all.

I have large boobs so buying a winter coat is difficult. X Large is that a 16?
Large parka coat is sometimes fine others times quite tight.
Another X Large would be too big, yet I worry if I get Large it might be too fitted?
I hate ordering things online and them not fitting, but if I buy a size up its like its allowing me to put on weight?

I want to buy a Parka Coast that looks neither tight/snug nor looks big?

I feel the pain OP! I must own every size available!

I'm 168cm (5'6) with arms/legs in proportion- but nearly every jacket makes me feel like I have orangutang arms! The end seems to stop before my watch, so my wrists are always sticking out!

Oh my god this is me. I'm 5'6" as well and have the exact same arm issue. It's enough to give you a complex.
