On the clothing topic- another question

Nope, you're not alone.  I do it all the time.

'course it doesn't help that every single maker has a different measurement for each size of clothes.  Like I've got some 12/14 sweat pants carried by wal-mart, which fit fine, not snug in the least, and I know good and well that there is NO way I would get into anything remotely that small by another maker.
