...to think that "medium" isn't size 8-10 and "large" isn't size 10-12.

[Naetha]

And that if I want a top that fits me properly, I shouldn't have to go for extra large?

I have a BMI of 25, 34C boobs. Am I really that big, or am I just shopping in the wrong places? Has the time come for me to start shopping at Cotton traders?

Has Snobear crawled back under her rock???

thank heavens it's not just me vs Zara, being a 12 -14 renders me XXXL...particularly when I want to do anything useful...like get my arms into a coat or skirt. Gah!!

At this risk of sounding smug, I find I have the opposite problem. I always used to be a size 8-10, but now I struggle to find any clothes that fit as they all come up massive on me. If anyone knows of places which do really small sizes I would be glad to know what they are. I really find it difficult to buy clothes, I have to go round the whole shop picking up anything I can find in my size and then just get the stuff that fits best.

Does anyone watch Drop Dead Diva? This thread could be a discussion about this weeks episode!

I'mgonna, Zara, TopShop, Dorothy Perkins (strangely). I managed to get some work clothes from DP and I am size 6-10.
