Hey everyone - the Wall Street Journal h written that the clothes mfg's have come to the conclusion that we do not like to buy size 16 clothes (No Kidding!) so to get our shopping dollars they have changed the sizes on their labels - a size 16 is now A SIZE 10! Just imagine, we go in a store an woohoo - the size 10 fits just great! We load gleefully load up while patting ourselves on the back, only what we just purchased were formerly size 16 ... what a bummer, can't trust anybody. This is great, when I am a size 10 it means I will be buying size 2 - I can't wait: ))

Continued proof that clothing sizes are crazy and totally out of whack!
Yes, I agree, way out of whack. After losing over 25 lbs on JC I am now a size 10 jeans. I went to buy a new pair the other day and fit from size 8 to size 12!!! Very frustrating in the change room that's for sure. Had to eventually take 3 of every pair I liked in and try on the different sizes - Crazy!!!
Go for the 8's! I wanna be a size 4 when I am a 14 in the real world teehee
